2. How lame! what fresh new BS is this

they will stop at nothing to cover up the lies wont they..
YAWN
we knew this would happen, they keep faking supposed WMDs..
just keep reminding people of the "imminent threat" horseshit.
They are trying to cover up the O'Neill report. They sure do suck at lying though.
OHHHH what a tangled web they weave!

3. Are they stamped "Made in USA"?

I believe we were arming them for the Iran Iraq war...

These would be circa the Saddam Rumsfeld handshake photo

7. were they found in anyone's back yard?

:shrug:

Needless to say, if confirmed this wouldn't change at all the question of 'whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction' since they seem to have been buried in a war zone in which it's well-known these weapons were used, and buried there in some small quantity at the time. Equally so, this wouldn't prevent yahoos from insisting on some sort of vindication. But there's not much you can do about yahoos or rhetorical hooligans but keep your own head on straight and let them chatter.

9. Letter attached "From Bush to Saddy: Good luck against the Khomeini!"

Bush probably bought those for Hussein. Mustard gas has also been in use since WWI. Nothing to see here.
