| US troops discover chemical weapons depot in Nassiriya: TV |
| 2003-03-31 |
| More IRNA, pass the salt please. US troops discovered a depot of chemical weapons in Iraqi southern city of Nassiriya, said the Kuwait Television on Monday. Big news if it's true. The television quoted US forces in Kuwait as claiming that the US troops discovered nerve gas as well as necessary equipment for fighting against chemical attacks in this depot. The United States has earlier claimed it discovered a depot of chemical weapons in the outskirts of Najaf. No film of the two depots has been broadcast yet. I don't we're going to see any, either. We've already been burned by premature announcements about discoveries of chemical weapons that later turned out not to be true. |

| #3 I think these finds shouldn't be advertised too much. Probably the only reason why Saddam has not used chemical warfare is because his international support would collapse if he did. Once the gloves are off, it could be terrible.. not so much for the well protected coalition forces but for the Iraqi population. I don't want to imagine what might happen to Basra people once "Chemical Ali" releases his stuff. |

| #2 I'm not getting my hopes up yet. These rumors and premature declarations of things like "Basra Uprisings" are hard on the nerves. |
