Yep, we did. So did the UN, et al. Who knows if this is the "only, single, solitary, little bitty shell left in all of Iraq" of it's type, or where any more would be. The thing I think is important that someone/or a group of someones, made a bomb of it. They were stupid on this one (although it did injure some). Let's just hope there aren't more. That Iraq has produced Sarin in the past? We knew that already

<<What does one Sarin shell prove? That Iraq has produced Sarin in the past? We knew that already.>> It's not just one shell, who knows how many more are around. Earlier they tried one with mustard gas. Then there were a lot of barrels of "farm pesticides" found in hidden underground bunkers next to artillery depots. Mix those farm chemicals together and you get nerve gas. Trucks left Iraq for Syria just before the war and hid in the Bakaa Valley. Just a few weeks ago trucks left the Valley for Jordan, were intercepted and had 20 tons of chemical weapons. If they had finished the mission there would have been 80k killed and 160k blinded or severely injured.
