Tests Confirm Sarin in Iraqi Artillery Shell
Wednesday, May 19, 2004
By Liza Porteus

NEW YORK — Tests on an artillery shell that blew up in Iraq on Saturday confirm that it did contain an estimated three or four liters of the deadly nerve agent sarin (search), Defense Department officials told Fox News Tuesday.

Testing done by the Iraqi Survey Group (search) — a U.S.-organized group of weapons inspectors who have been searching for weapons of mass destruction (search) since the ouster of Saddam Hussein — concluded that the mustard gas was "stored improperly" and was thus "ineffective."

"It's not out of the ordinary or unusual that you would find something in a haphazard fashion" in Iraq, Edward Turzanski, a political and national security analyst, told Fox News on Tuesday.

New weapons caches are being found every day, experts said, including "hundreds of thousands" of rocket-propelled grenades and portable anti-aircraft weapons.

"Clearly, if we're gonna find one or two of these every so often — used as an IED or some other way — the threat is not all that high, but it does confirm suspicion that he did have this stuff," said Ret. U.S. Army Col. Robert Maginnis.

1. I think this story is regurgitating itself as a result of last night's
Frontline which was a very damning episode. I found it odd that all of a sudden, WMD's are in the news today, but I would venture to guess many watching last night's Frontline didn't know the depths to which Tennet cowtowed

2. Today's revelation is in defense of Cheney.
He was hit hard with Frontline and 1%.

He is now totally naked, less the big sign over his Little Dick which reads: THIS LYING, FASCIST WAR CRIMINAL KILLED AMERICA'S HEROES IN COLD BLOOD.
