XBrit, I'm curious about people of your ilk, i.e., those who still insist on defending Saddam even after he is at the very least very much out of power.

Are you stupid people who have been taken in by the lies of evil people or are you evil people who think the rest of us are stupid enough to be taken in by your lies? Perhaps some combination of the two?

In any case, as SAF so eloquently put it,

GFY!

US finds 'nerve gas' in Iraq
(Filed: 27/04/2003)
Initial tests on 14 barrels of suspicious chemicals found at a site north of Baghdad by American soldiers have revealed traces of nerve and blistering agents.

A special forces reconaissance team found the unmarked barrels with at least 150 gas masks at the site east of Bayji, around 130 miles north of Baghdad, according to an American journalist.

More than 12 missiles were also discovered at what is believed to be a mobile chemical weapons laboratory.

David Wright, a reporter with the American television network ABC, said a platoon of chemical weapons experts from the US Army's 1-10 Cavalry had been despatched to carry out tests on the site.

Their initial findings concluded that the barrels contained a mixture of three chemicals, including a nerve agent and blistering agent.

Lt Valerie Phipps, who is leading the weapons squad, said the preliminary tests were 98 per cent accurate. Full tests on the site are expected to take around a week.

The find could be the evidence which proves American and British allegations that Saddam Hussein's regime possessed weapons of mass destruction.

However, experts have said pesticides can give false positive results because they can be made from the same chemicals used to produce mustard gas and the nerve gas Sarin.

American troops found more than 20 drums near the southern city of Karbala on Apr 7 that initially tested positive for Sarin and mustard gas but which the military later determined were pesticides.

On Apr 10, American forces found a mobile radar truck outside Baghdad which was also wrongly thought to be a mobile chemical weapons laboratory.
