Sarin Re-Confirmed

From Yahoo News:
Comprehensive testing has confirmed the presence of the chemical weapon sarin in the remains of a roadside bomb discovered this month in Baghdad, a defense official said Tuesday.

The determination, made by a laboratory in the United States that the official would not identify, verifies what earlier, less-thorough field tests had found: the bomb was made from an artillery shell designed to disperse the deadly nerve agent on the battlefield.

The origin of the shell remains unclear, and finding that out is a priority for the U.S. military, the defense official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Some analysts worry the 155-millimeter artillery shell, found rigged as a bomb on May 15, may be part of a larger stockpile of Iraqi chemical weapons that insurgents can now use. But no more have turned up, and several military officials have said the shell may have been an older one that predated the 1991 Gulf War .

Matt's Chat

I just thought you all might like to know that it has been CONFIRMED that there were in fact WMDs in Iraq. Now watch the liberals move the goalpost to "stockpiles." By the way, the crickets are still chirping on this liberal challenge posted awhile back...

Mark's Remarks


OF course liberals will up the ante, Matt. They can never be wrong, even when facts prove that they are. Look at how the press covered the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Days into each war, we were in a quagmire like Vietnam. We were the oppressors, we were killing and firebombing civilians. When the facts come out and prove these bogus and damaging statements wrong, do we get page 1 apologies and corrections, a self-examiniation of the media? Heck no, we get "well, I guess we all missed the mark." Come on! The media liberal elite will never admit their mistakes, and they have been very damaging to soldier morale and to US presitge, but the media and liberal elite do not care, they do not care what happens to the nation, as long as they get GWB. Ridiculous, but sadly true.
