Nuclear arms reportedly found in Iraq

Can anyone but an expert tell the difference between a nuclear weapon and a conventional weapon simply by looking at it? Just wondering . . .

I wasn't trying to be picky. I just remembered from school that a meter is longer than a yard.

[Mo1]

Oh my my

Any word on where they orginally came from?

[Gothmog]

Yeah, but Reuters won't even concede that bin Laden and AQ were behind the 9/11 attacks. They always report it as '...bin Laden, who allegedly masterminded the 9/11 attacks...' So screw them, ha ha ha.

whoa

[Condor51]

Did I get most of the spin right? I am new here!

Yep, you pretty much got it.

And welcome to FR :-)
btw, It might help if you filled a little of you profile out though, at least what State you're from.

It doesn't say the missles were buried under six feet of concrete, it says the missiles were in a trench that was shielded by six meters of concrete. In other words, a secret room or tunnel deep underground where no radiation would leak to the surface.

I too am cautious about believing this story until we have more info...but a tunnel deep underground is exactly where we always thought valuable WMD would be stored.

buries them under six feet of concrete

"They pointed out that the missiles were actually discovered in the trenches lying under six meters of concrete"

(6 METERS of concrete is around 18 feet)

It looks like the Rats are getting their tree limbs sawed off.

If true, the Democrats would be dead and buried for............eternity.

[mass55th]

If this turns out to be true, I'll be waiting for the Dems to cry about the timing of this story.

[Mr. Mojo]

Yep, but at least they'll be crying from their (at most) 15% approval rating perch.

[demlosers]

If true, the Democrats would be dead and buried for...........

At least for a week. They are like crab grass.

Berger probably can

[StarCMC]

Hey - don't know if you saw this or not, but it dawned on my I should ping you to it.

[snopercod]

If this proves true, I'm betting that the markings on the missiles and warheads will be written in Korean.

[no_problema]

will the u.s. media report this?

[Snapple]

Although there are supposedly no WMD, Zarqawi is reportedly looking for them.

[NotchJohnson]

But we gave Bush 2 weeks to find the stuff so time is aleady up.
