"Nobody every said Iraq never had any shells." Read the data, Iraq claimed not to have any shells capable of being loaded with chemical agents, although the UN believes that Iraq still has around 11,000 of these shells that are unaccounted for. These shells are against UN provisions dating back to '91 and are material breeches in and off themselves, although this quantity is probably too small to go to war over by itself. Ah, the smell of tank fumes in the morning, what a pleasant sight it will be!

Nobody every said Iraq never had any shells. Zonder.. The discovery of the unfilled Chemical 122mm warheads is a breach of the binding UN resolutions. There is only one purpose for those shells; to be filled with chemical materials and delivered as a weapon. To possess them is a violation of the UN resolution.. They should have been declared, at a miminum, the last time Saddam was caught lying about possessing WMDs (1995). They were moved from somewhere else to this new location sometime since 1998, yet no one knew what was in them?? The Iraqi general on the news today claimed it was all a mistake and that they were in the wrong crates.. It was all a mistake.. an anomaly... Well, I guess we're going to have to go through each and every round of Iraqi ammunition to see if there are anymore "mistakes".. Hawk
