Well, hats off to the Iranians. My mother's boss is a person of Iranian birth, who has family still in Iran. He is a lovely man, who saved her life, literally, when she was ill, and I am extremely grateful. I hope not to give offense to any other nation, but I have always had pleasant dealings with Iranians. When I was in high school, one of my best friends was someone whose family escaped from reprisal from the regime of the Shah. My sister was in love with a man whose family escaped from the regime. They all had such hope that after the Shah was gone, they could go home again. My sister's lover did, and was executed. I wish good things for the Iranians.

Third Infantry Finds Chemical Weapons By Paul Strand, CBN News War Correspondent cbn.com CBN.com – The Third Infantry Division has captured evidence of chemical weapons as they are fighting Iraq’s Republican Guard just 60 miles south of Baghdad. The evidence has yet to be confirmed, but CBN News War Correspondent Paul Strand delivered this exclusive information by satellite phone early Wednesday. PAT ROBERTSON: We are going to our CBN News War Correspondent Paul Strand, embedded with the Army's Third Infantry Division. That's the spearhead of the attack against Baghdad. Paul, we understand you have some shocking news about chemical warheads. Tell us about it. PAUL STRAND: Yes, Pat, I do. First of all, I hope you can hear me because I am out in that raging sandstorm and it’s hard to hear you. I hope you hear me okay. What I just heard from a highly placed source here is that they've discovered, they've captured chemical warheads, they're Russian, they have Russian writing all over them and they are chemical warheads. Of course, they can't get into them and find out if there’s chemicals because once they open them they'd all die right there on the spot. But they're gonna ship them off for testing. They also captured a launcher that was able to shoot these very munitions that they've captured. And they’ve captured a man who mixes the chemicals, that was his job with the Medina Division which is the division we're facing right now near the city of Karbala. So all these things leading the military here to believe we might have been hit by chemical shells any time now, and we're not sure we've got them all. So those are the developments here near Karbala about 60 miles south of Baghdad......
