Ignorance is Blix.

This was reported yesterday morning by Dr. Bob Arnott from MSNBC. He was there when the testing was taking place.

Well, Scottie Ritter and Hansie Blix, what do you have to say for yourselves?
To: Prince Charles
They are finding so much stuff, chemicals, chem/bio suits, books/manuals on dealing with the material. Hans Blix needs to be charged with dereliction of duty with this is all over.

I heard a report, and this one neither confirms nor refutes
it, that the cynanide was later thought to be at natural
background levels for the river at that point. Any updates
on this?
The answer to that, of course, does nothing to explain the
presence of mustard.
Let's not get overanxious about this and leap on every
report from fog-of-war-land. If the agents are out there,
they'll be found soon enough.
(And if we were going to plant them, they'd have already
been "found" some time ago :-)
To: Boundless
I was just reporting what Dr. Arnott said yesterday as he was there when the testing was done. The mustard agent was high on the first test and went down as it was more diluted by the water.
BTW I am not overanxious. I know we will find the find WMD's and probably already have but there has been a lid on reporting. Dr. Arnott did not report this as WMD's BTW. It was a concern because the concentration was high right outside the reverse osmosis intake valve which is used to provide water for our troops.

Well, technically, the regime USED bio/chem weapons. Granted it was not sprayed on the troops; but it is in the river that is used by civilians. So, where is France now? They said they would assist if the regime used bio/chem weapons.
not that we want france involved, I would be curious as to their response now

Those guys are really in for it now. They have polluted some water. The environmentalists are going to be on the Iraqis like flies on camel crap.

A concentration of cyanide high enough to measure is probably enough to kill you.

Who knows what the correct story is......
Euphrates Chemical Tests Said Negative
No Indications So Far That Chemical Found in Iraq's Euphrates River Are Illegal, Officials Say
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON April 4 U.S. Marines near the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah found what initially appeared to be suspicious chemicals in water samples from the Euphrates River, two defense officials said Friday.
Details were sketchy, but both officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they knew of no indications that subsequent tests of the water had confirmed the presence of illegal chemicals.
The Marines reported the suspicious substances a few days ago, the officials said.
