Maybe Fox will have something on this!

Can't tell. I'd have to wade thru exciting "All Laci/Kobe/OJ/Jacko All The Time" gavel-to-gavel coverage of this week's Celebrity Trial Of The Century.

Not to mention their puff pieces on F&F with seditionists of every stripe.

I no longer trust Fox.

The lamestream will pretend they and the dubius politicians who couldn't stop spouting the NO WMD theme (playing along with Saddam's, France's and Germany's game) had never ever said anything about WMD's. We will stop hearing about WMD's like they knew they would be found all along. Unfortunately, all there slander against Bush and his administration will remain in the minds of some who don't follow the news world news.

Those chrome plated weapons they were showing on Fox this last weekend sure would be cool to have in a display cabinet.

He's a really nice guy. His brigade, 2nd Bde. 1st Cav. replace mine (3rd Bde. 1st Armored Division). Talked with the Major several times about matters relating to Public Affairs. If I remember correctly he doesn't have a German background but a Dutch heritage.

I hope John Kerry is about to have an "Oh sh*t" moment.

I doubt it. He has the entire world and US media as his personal propaganda machine, free of charge.

I'd love to find more of this stuff. To shut up the Democrats. And for peace of mind knowing where at least some of it is.

If they turn out to have Sarin or some other chemical weapons (not WP), that's a big deal. But otherwise....

43 arty rounds just isn't a big deal. That's about 5 minutes worth of firing for a battery. I'm not saying its not nice to have found them, because that's 43 fewer potential IED's. But its not major news.

Well, whether or not it is big news depends on The Administration.


The whole argument about "No WMDs" centers on the evidence of abscence being deliberately portrayed as abscence of evidence.

43, Rounds containing Sarin, would in fact negate the abscence of evidence.

Then it becomes less a matter of IF, and more a matter of when (we find the rest)....

But they need to make the case, if this is indeed turns out true.

The other question is - where are they getting this stuff before they hide it. I hope we've got the known ammo dumps guarded.

Yup -- that's why they wanted to try to capture these guys.

Question ... is one of these shells enough to do the damage that these roadside bombs are doing? or is a IED made of a lot of these shells and or other stuff?

What they did find was artillery shells and fuses, four Russian-made AT-3 Sagger anti-tank guided missiles, an improvised rocket launcher capable of firing nine rockets simultaneously, and assorted weapons including a G-3 Heckler and Koch German-made assault rifle, said Haynie

HOLY ****!!! GOOD FIND!

Until we find a Bondesque secret facility hidden in the desert with some sort of nefarious doomsday device...

Does anyone remember the big facility that our troops liberated on the march to Bagdad? Initial reports mentioned how a high ranking Iraqi General and some troopies were guarding the place, and it initially had all the earmarkings of a chemical munitions plant. Subsequently, the place was dismissed as just a fertilizer factory.

THEN - a few days ago the minor news is that Saddam's boys routinely hid their chemical agent facilities in dual-use factories, like fertilizer plants. Huh? Where's the connect with the guarded facility we liberated over a year ago?

It seems we have smatterings of evidence that together add up to substantial justification in believing that WMD were in the hands of the old tyrant. But, the mainstream media would rather make the case that it all adds up to nothing; to do otherwise would be to vindicate the POTUS.
