It's not like this is the equivalent of a nuke buried in the sands.

Just one observation, burying chemical weapons is not a conventional means of storage. These weapons must have been buried to avoid UN weapons inspectors.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

Yeha, like thos Japanese chemical rounds from WW2 that some Chinese laborers dug up- so certainly they could stay burried a long time- and be forgotten and useless as weapons of war.Originally posted by rah
Not exactly what I would consider war worthy either, but it does maybe show that a lot more COULD have been buried after GW I to hide it from inspectors. Some could stay buried for a long time.
Which brings u a little point- why don;t terrorist simply go digging? Who knows what old munitions lie around the world from our wonderfully peaceful past.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Hence it proves Iraq had a programme of WMD prior to the invasion and was a direct threat to the US.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

Also a normal method of long term storage. Please."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

Let us also remember tha Saddam would not provide any evidence of this "quick and unprofessional" destruction. My guess is that this is the first of many caches to be found."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

Actually that's extremely questionable. I'll have to check what's the deal with mustard gas, but for many chemical munitions, they are no longer usable after they have been mixed inside shells for too long. I'm curious if there is even enough intact chemical agents for the weapons to even be that dangerous. It certainly sounds highly questionable if they at all usable. If they have been burried over 10 years, there is a legitimate question of whether Saddam even knew about them or if they had been burried and forgotten. In the second case, the discovery is rather meaningless.Originally posted by PLATO
