Sarin Nerve Gas Round Found, Partly Detonated in Iraq
Ok, what bothers me the most about this is that when you make Sarin, you don't make it in 2 liter quantities. Where's the rest of it?
I'm really surprised at the voraciousness of people who are so ready to deny this as a WMD. This was part of a larger system of weapons that Iraq was forbidden to have. Argue all you want wether or not we should have gone to war, but it's clear as can be that Saddam was working on weapons that were forbidden by 1441.
One shell does not make an entire program, but it surely shows that there was a program in place that shouldn't have been. I hope we can locate those who detonated this thing and find out where they got it from.
[update]
It has been stated that it is quite possible that the shell has come from somewhere else. This is not only a possibility but it wouldn't be unheard of. However, VX was Saddam's specialty and he was known to have much more. Plus, we found mustard gas that he had 'destroyed' but didn't. If this were the only incident, I'd agree with those who think this means nothing, but it's not. It's just another link in a long chain of lies from the Hussein regime.
