Chemical weapons captured in Iraq?

[sten]

I was listening to one of those conservative talk shows on the radio at about 4:30 PM eastern, and a caller mentioned that an embedded reporter stated that the Marines had captured chemical warheads, a launcher, and the Iraqi Lt. that mixed the chemicals.

The host apparently called the source and stated that the Army 3rd Division had captured chemical warheads in Iraq. I got the impression that it was a separate incident, although I may have misunderstood.

Did anyone else hear about this? It seems that if it were true that the Military would be trumpeting it all over the place by now. I apologize for not remembering more, but I was just flipping through on the way back to the office. If anybody else heard that or has any links I would appreciated it.

Thanks

There are a few news articles about it, but some here would jump on the sources as "biased" if I posted links. If it's true, it'll be on the more mainstream press sites shortly.

Even then you might can't trust it. Everyone has been wondering most of the day how much damage we did to an Iraqi column that apparenly doesn't exist.

"Might can't" trust it? Well all right, then, Billy Bob. We can go get us some chitlins and collard greens if y'ant to.

It's hard to say. I guess we'll either find out soon or 30 years from now we'll be telling stories about how the aliens came and took the weapons and the Government covered it up.

Thanks,

edit -- plus, if it were true Al-Jazeera would already be claiming that the Americans planted the weapons there.

Personally I think that they shouldnt report it until the war is over. Gather all their evidence and showcase it at the U.N.

Placing Samples of what we found in front of the chairs of the French, Chinese, German, and Russian Delegates.

See what they'd say then.

I agree. All these false alarms just look bad. The U.S. should be patient, gather a *MASSIVE* compilation of evidence and then make a grueling 8+ hour presentation to the UN. "Shock & Awe", Powell-style...
