Al Bawaba reports that ''Smoking gun'' evidence against Iraq turns out to contain pesticide:
A facility near Baghdad that a US officer had claimed might finally be "smoking gun" evidence of Iraqi chemical weapons production turned out to contain pesticide, not sarin gas as originally thought.
A military intelligence officer for the US 101st Airborne Division's aviation brigade, Captain Adam Mastrianni, told AFP that profound tests Monday determined the presence of the pesticide compounds.
Initial tests had reportedly detected traces of sarin, after US soldiers guarding the facility near Hindiyah, 100 kilometres south of Baghdad, became ill. Mastrianni said: "They thought it was a nerve agent. That's what it tested. But it is pesticide."
Now, I don't doubt that there are chemical weapons somewhere in Iraq. The question is in what amount and what age and condition. Either way, let's just hope that the Army doesn't blow them up like they did 1991, exposing over 150,000 of us to nerve gas and other nasty toxins. Oh yeah, then there's the lying about it for 10 years part as well. Let's hope they don't do that again.
