[Frank_Discussion]

Am I to assume that the "declaration" said these warheads were full?

[PhiKapMom]

Looks like our intelligence we gave to the inspectors is starting to pay off!

The warheads are now empty but no one knows what happened to the chemicals.

[xzins]

Fox just said that the warheads are the type to carry chemicals. That they are illegal and that there is no chemical present.

Reporter is saying it is a "clear material breach."

[per loin]

You've faster fingers than mine

[Dog]

What the heck??

[finnman69]

Were they lying around, or where they hidden?

[quack]

They're empty,but could have once been filled with chemical weapons.Still,Iraq is in violation as they were to have no chemical weapons or anything that could deliver chemical weapons.(According to FOX)

[OXENinFLA]

Keep us Office cubies posted please.

[PhiKapMom]

They found 11 empty warheads but one is being looked at more closely! The warheads were supposed to be destroyed BTW!

[nwctwx]

hehe, never started a topic before... wanted to try to get in first on something!

U.N. Inspectors find 11 empty chemical warheads... looking for traces of said material...

[xzins]

warhead may have traces of chemical

12 empty chemical warheads; 122 mm sized warheads; found at storage area outside of Baghdad

being inspected for traces

even the warheads are not allowed

Significant find!

[Dog]

They found 12 empty warheads......122mm.....1 is being looked at for having chemicals in it..

[krodriguesdc]

no choice now but to go in full guns blazing!

[Frank_Discussion]

That's kinda my point, that chemicals declared are now missing. Plus it seems that they shouldn't have the little beasties in any event.

Boom?

[Pistolshot]

Lock and load.

[MJY1288]

I wonder what excuse the Hollywood elites will come up with for Saddam now?

Mike Ferrell (Actor "MASH" = Hunnycut) will be the first to defend Saddam I'm sure

[Dog]

You did very good.....keep it up...:-)

[PhiKapMom]

They also have a scientist that took a boxload of papers with him after the inspectors showed up at his house. He led inspectors to a mound of dirt in the desert and he is now being interviewed in a local hotel.

The clock is ticking!

[Grampa Dave]

Naah! Just wait a few more weeks, and it will get more interesting, revealing and embarassing to those who love Uncle Soddomite, as more stuff is revealed.

[copycat]

Warheads themselves constitute a breech. Stated earlier that inspectors are interested in a huge mound of dirt somewhere in Iraq.

[brewcrew]

Lock and load.

US Air Force owns the night. New moon February 1, 2003.

[PhiKapMom]

I think the Hollywood community and their friends in high places should do this Country a great service by going to Iraq to be human shields to stop the war!

[pettifogger]

They also have a scientist that took a boxload of papers with him after the inspectors showed up at his house. He led inspectors to a mound of dirt in the desert and he is now being interviewed in a local hotel.

Hope we got his family out first.

[Dog]

Saddam is done....

Did you all just hear that other shoe drop....:-)

They found these warheads using underground radar!!!!!!!

[ewing]

One warhead is enough to declare them in 'material breach.'

Now I suspect the lefties will start hollering about going to the UN for a 'use of force' resolution.

[Imal]

This is just the tip of the warhead. Bush is sitting on much better evidence than this, including Al Qaeda connections. He and his staff have literally said as much.

Bush already has everything he needs to go to war, and war there will be.

Anything uncovered by the U.N. clown show is icing on the cake, but optional. However, I'm sure Bush and his intelligence sources would love it if he didn't have to reveal sensitive information to justify taking Iraq.

[copycat]

You called it...Fox news reporter states that todays actions are pushed by intel recvd yesterday.

[ewing]

Good timing

[per loin]

There's also a mound of dirt that the inspectors are digging into.

[finnman69]

CNN Banner

BREAKING NEWS U.N. weapons inspectors find 11 empty chemical warheads in "excellent condition" in Iraq. Details to come.

So Scott Ritter, I thought you said there is no way after all these years that these weapons would remain viable?

[Dog]

Nice to see you again.....:-)

[xzins]

Storage area outside Baghdad

12 - 1 of particular interest

even if empty a 1st breakthrough by inspectors.

Attributing these things to hard intel from the US....to include recent scientists list and a mound of dirt.

[Dog Gone]

One thing to keep in mind is that Saddam has nothing to lose once the smoking gun is revealed. There's no "out" for him, and he might as well start firing scuds before we're fully deployed.

I don't know if he'd do that or not, but it's something to consider.

[fivecatsandadog]

KA-BOOM!!!!

[doug from upland]

Well, you RAT bastards, here's the proof. You've been demanding the proof. Shut up and support our president and our military.

[PhiKapMom]

They just said on Fox that the last two days the inspectors have been working with US intelligence sources to make their inspections. Looks like our intelligence was correct and they haven't even given them everything we have.

[krodriguesdc]

OK have it your way!

[rumrunner]

This means war.

[r9etb]

The warheads are now empty but no one knows what happened to the chemicals.

IIRC, chemical shells are usually binary -- they're relatively inert until two different chemicals are mixed together at the time the shell explodes.

In that case, the binary "innards" might be stored apart from the shells themselves. The existence of these shells implies that Iraq may (and probably does) have the rest of the chemicals in storage someplace else.

[Frank_Discussion]

Aw shucks, out there the daytime is pretty cheap, too!

[PhiKapMom]

That is why I think that the US has been slow to provide intelligence until we are ready which is right around the corner IMO.

[dfwgator]

"Gentleman, I think war has just been declared."

[mystery-ak]

This can't be true....Ritter said that Iraq doesn't have anything to hide.
