500 sarin gas shells don't count as WMD
Pentagon documents declassified yesterday reveal the existence of over 500 artillery shells filled with sarin gas. It seems that most of these predate Operation Desert Storm, which would mean that Saddam was squirrelling them to hiding places instead of destroying them as per the stipulations of the armistice.

Today's CNN headline is an extra-alarmist article about global warming.

Sure...im sure they are the exact same weapons we had stockpiled long ago as well..

Oh wait, most of our chemical weapons stocks are degrading as well. Not to mention the fact Sarin Gas even in a weakened state is quite deadly. You only need one the size of a popcan to take out a small town with a airburst.

Then you have the problem of the fact Saddam locked in Kurdish cities with his military.

And then the fact Sarin was the weapon used to quell the Kurdish uprising...

Yep. CNN, Counter News Network.
