Dutch Marines Find ‘Suspect Shells‘ in Iraq (Another WMD rumor?)

"Dutch marines clearing munitions in the southern al-Muthana province of Iraq have called in British and American weapons inspectors after finding “a few dozen suspect shells”, a Defence Ministry spokesman in the Netherlands said Saturday."

http://www.news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2065547

"The 130-mm artillery shells found October 8th showed “several indications of some kind of chemical reaction”, Middel said. “They could be regular munitions that have become discoloured by the heat and sun.”""

3. Rust never sleeps...

They were probably going to launch those shells at the US of A by tying them to super carrier pigeons and flying them across the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean right into Bayonne, NEW JERSEY! Wale up and smell the botulin toxin, people!
