| Huge weapons cache found - Surprise Surprise where some fresh ordnance originated |
| 2005-12-21 |
| EFL ZUWAD KHALAF, Iraq — Working on a tip from an informant, soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division on Tuesday dug up more than a thousand aging rockets and missiles wrapped in plastic, some of which had been buried as recently as two weeks ago, Army officials said. Still, the plastic around some of the rockets — of Soviet, German and French origins — appeared to be fresh and had not deteriorated as it had on some of the older munitions. |

| #20 This might be old, but it will make you smile. Go to Google and type in French military victories. Then hit the I'm feeling lucky button. |

| #19 Just at a guess, but also from the wording in the article, these are older armaments but some of them were recently buried in that location. |

| #18 I wouldn't hold my breath to find that these are recent armaments. If they are, then State and the administration will just keep it quiet to use as arm-twisting ammo (pun intended). If not, the MSM will be too stupid or biased to ask or report about it. |

| #17 I'm with newc on this one. If a substantial portion of these weapons are of recent manufacture, then we should raise an almighty stink about it. France, Germany and Russia should be given strong "encouragement" to trace back the chain of arms deals that landed this cache in Iraq. If we encounter any resistance, publicize this like there's no tomorrow. After their complicity in the Oil-for-Palaces scandal, these putative allies owe us some explanations. |

| #15 Babelfish translation- "One produces the armaments, We sell armaments with rise, which hide the armaments. Somebody alert Americains, who then find the armaments cachees. Then, rise them still order armaments! It is the meillure!" whatever that means |

| #14 Basically: "One produces the armaments. We sell the armaments to the insurgents, who hide them. Somebody alerts the Americans, who find the cache. The insurgents order armanents again. It's great!" |

| #13 I'm sorry, Curt. *Said with a perfect French accent, thanks to my several girlfriends who went on to become French teachers, but nonetheless true* Je parle pas Francais. May I have a translation, pretty please? |

| #10 On produit les armements, Nous vendons des armements aux insurges, qui cachent les armements. Quelqu'un alert les Americains, qui ensuite trouvent les armements cachees. Puis, les insurges commandent encore des armements! C'est le meillure! |

| #7 Re-read the sentence. Still, the plastic around some of the rockets — of Soviet, German and French origins — appeared to be fresh and had not deteriorated as it had on some of the older munitions. |

| #5 Lets get those lot numbers and see when they were made. Check hazmat shipment records to see when they were shipped, unless they were shipped Illegally which they probably were because two of these countries are but soon to be were members of Nato. |
