5/17 Why aren't left-wingers and right-wingers making a big deal of the
sarin gas find?
Blix said this was not indicative of a WMD stockpile and he points
out he identified 16 empty sarin shells while weapons inspector.
Moreover, Kimitt said that he thought the insurgents DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW they had a chemical weapons shell in their IED.
Bush is afraid if he plays this up, he'll never find another sarin
shell again, and people will play up that it was all about a WMD
STOCKPILE.
\_ I don't know, doesn't that make this even more creepy? Where
did they get the shell if there's no stockpile? Perhaps it
wasn't really sarin, but the instead one of the insurgents just
farted in the shell?
\_ Blix said it was likely a stray weapon scavenged from a dump
and did not signify that Iraq had large stockpiles.
However, it was definitely a chemical weapons shell, just
like what Blix found while he was WMD. It had two components
which were to mix during delivery to make the sarin gas.
\_ Didn't you just answer your own question? It's not a big deal
because it's left-over from the Iran-Iraq war and since nobody knows
where all the old rounds are it's not a stockpile. It's Garbage
of Mass Destruction. |
