Elwood -

Even the President isn't claiming anymore that there are any WMD to be found. Now he talks about "weapons of mass destruction program related activities."

MIGs can't deliver WMD if they don't have any to deliver. And no, artillery shells really don't fit in that category.

By the way, what's the shelf life for "blister agent"? Is it still good after more than ten years?

Hi Allen,
Right, they are now talking about WMD program related activities that have been discovered by Inspector David Kay.
Thank goodness that the U.S. Military kept Hussain's Air Force (MIGs) and their destructive firepower on the ground which undoubtedly lessened the civilian/military casualties.
David Kay hasn't found a warehouse full of WMD yet. But the Hussain clan is over. IMO they were the biggest WMD of all.
Don't know the shelf life of blister agents. I do know that properly stored shells have a very, very long life. The shells under discussion almost seem to have been discarded or stored by someone not knowledgeable on technique.
Not to belabor this discussion, but I find it interesting that many thread posters do not express an equivalent outrage over the VMD (Victims of Mass Destruction - slaughtered by the Hussain regime) as they do about the lack of WMD. Do you think that is because we are in the middle of a political season?
