Chemical weapons finds

I'm sorry for being the thread starter so often in Current Events. I really don't mean to be so dominant but there is so much going on and it's all quite fascinating.

Over the last three days there have been a few reports of various chem finds, followed by heavy silence as people decide that they aren't equipped to figure out what they're finding and don't want to say any more. But the pattern is clear: some of these reports are starting to ring true, and if they don't quite constitute a "smoking gun" yet, they *will* after experts have had a chance to test and document everything.

Adjust your war attitudes accordingly!

I linked to the findings in that camp in the north, but there have been a few other, much more damning findings recently. In another, the 101st found missiles "ready to fire" were found tipped with sarin and mustard gas warheads.

This was on the heels of the news that several 101st soldiers and even journalists and prisoners had to be treated and hosed down with bleach after they suffered some physical effects from being close to possible nerve agents.

Saturday we had a determination that cyanide and mustard had been dumped in the Euphrates river.

But this one made the NY Times. Sarin, mustard, tabun. 55-gallon drums. At a military site, not an industrial plant, so this can't be a "dual use" situation.
