yes, beware of UPI stories in general. Just because news is "good" doesn't make it "true"

If true, I am a little sad because this will pre-empt the Sandy saga and I wanted to hear about his sox a few more days.

Oh well...

What, exactly, is a "nuclear head". That's not a nuclear warhead is it? Is that some kind of depleted uranium penetrating warhead? Call me sceptical at this point.

LOL - you obviously got hold of an early edition. Sadly, it's probably close to the truth.

refuse to get excited over these early reports. We've been burned too many times.

Me too! I'm waiting to hear what are guys over there are saying, but good grief, if this is true.....

If this report is confirmed, and that's a big "IF," how long do you suppose it'll be before the Dims start suggesting that these nukes are a "plant" by the Bush team?

Excellent!

Every thinking person knows they were there somewhere.........just a matter of time.

Does this have something to do with the Libyian statement that they were the base for Saddam's stuff?

Technical analysis will show the Iraqi designs to be duds, so Bush still lied. < / sarcasm>

I believe the Wash Times said they were under 6 or so meters of concrete so were undetectable.

Not that hard to hide if that is the case. There could be many more.

Iran has already run several stories claiming the US has been planting WMD's. Here's their proof!

See these two threads Gov:

"Iraqi paper reports discovery of nuclear warheads"

"UN inspectors to return to Iraq"

Agreed. What is a "nuclear head" by the way? Sounds like they took a report verbatim that was badly translated. For all we know, it could mean they found a nuclear warhead or head cheese...

I'm a bit dubious too. However, I don't think by any stretch depleted uranium heads can accurately be called nuclear. But it certainly is possible that the warheads are dirty bombs - Saddam might have gotten hold of some radioactive material and stuck it on the head of a conventional bomb. Even so, I'd certainly say that qualifies as a WMD.

No. Just ask the NYT. The 30 sarin shells are not WMD.
