The discovery is not, however, considered the long-sought "smoking gun" of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

Somebody kick me.

If this isn't a "smoking gun" then guns don't smoke.

DU is somewhat radioactive and is uranium. If the missles contain DU (depleted Uranium) then they are little different than the tank buster rounds that the A-10 spits out. Now if they find plutonium?

America has WMD. We just don't bury them in the desert. If Iraq was not hiding their WMD, why do they keep turning up buried?

I imagine the uranium in question is unenriched at worst,
DU being far more likely. Not much of an issue here, lots
of stuff in military use can be toxic if handled incorrectly.

Not a dirty bomb. More like a nail bomb.

Well well well .. the search for the smoking gun has turned up the 'glowing gun'.

Wasn't Sen. Highball .. oops I mean Kennedy ... actually mocking VP Cheney this weekend for suggesting that the weapons search was as yet incomplete? Go get em Dick!

Depleted Uranium Fragmentation warhead.
Gotta be careful with it, but it's not designed as a NBC weapon.

One must always consider the source when dealing with "NewsMax". US Army magnetic lensatic compasses always had a "radiation" warning on the back (i.e. "don't remove the back cover") since they contained a small amount of radioactive material to illuminate the needle and the compass headings on the dial. If the nuclear material in these missiles was enriched or easily reprocessed, Saddam would have had his bomb ahead of schedule. Doubt that this was the case, however.

Maybe .. but I'm going take a guess and say that Saddam wasn't suppose to have them

The left has been upset for years over our use of depleted uranium ordnance during the first Gulf War, citing all sorts of environmental damage, and health risks to anyone in the area. Now, it seems that Saddam had similar weapons and may have used them in that war. Somehow, I have the feeling that all the blame will forever be pointed directly at the US, and not one word will ever be uttered against Saddam.
