More weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

The BBC has a report today about US forces finding bomb making factories in several locations in Iraq. Which would seem to indicate that Iraqi citizens are providing information to US forces.

The article also carried this bombshell.

On Friday, Poland's defence ministry said its troops in Iraq had thwarted an attempt by militants to buy a quantity of warheads containing nerve agents.

In order for terrorists to buy weapons of mass destruction "in Iraq" they must be "in Iraq". Also notice it says "a quantity" of warheads containing nerve agents.

UPDATE More from the BBC.

Gen Dukaczewski was commenting on last month's recovery by Polish troops of 17 warheads for a 1980s Soviet-era rocket system.

Tests indicated some warheads contain cyclosarin, more powerful than sarin, Polish officials say.


By my count that makes about 30 weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq so far. Not to mention all the WMDs that were found in scrap yards around the world.

Why are these so hard to find?

The general said the ammunition [weapons of mass destruction] had been buried in order to avoid it being discovered by UN weapons inspectors.

They were located in a bunker in the Polish sector, but officials refused to reveal their exact whereabouts.

From the BBC article - odd how you cite the BBC for bias in an earlier piece.......

"But the US military said that while two of the rockets tested positive for sarin, traces of the agent were so small and deteriorated as to be virtually harmless."

THey were old, left over bits and pieces from the 90's. Get over it. And if this was true, perhaps youd like to explain why Blair has admitted "WMDdidnt exist in Iraq"

More spin from a site that claims to unravel spin. Laughable.
