#1 I really don't believe that "all the alleged finds have so far turned out to be false upon further analysis". I believe after the war is over, and things settle down to a dull roar, some of those "negative" finds will slowly creep back into the "positive" side, when no one is looking. I just wonder what game Rumsfeld and Bush are playing over this. No American should let this drop below the radar screen - I think it's extremely important to someone to falsify all the chemical weapon evidence, and I'd like to know who and why.

#2 And I think that all these NBC weapons finds are being suppressed and collected for one big "IN YOUR FACE, UN!" moment.

We'll then kick the UN out of New York, announce tie dissolution of NATO, and invite all democratic nations to join a new international coalition consisting ONLY of freedom loving nation.

Hey, I can dream can't I?

#3 The thing that bothers me is that all these weapons are being found in SCHOOLS. Absolutely f**king brilliant! Would anyone ever see UNMOVIC inspecting schools? Blix looking under desks? ha! ha!ha! The genius of Saddam.

#4 Schools! Maybe it was Ritter's idea!

#5 Ritter would have found them if they would have hidden them at the schools. ;)

#6 Baba Yaga - Nah, Ritter wouldn't have found them, he'd have been far too busy looking up the skirts and down the shirts of little girls. And boys too, or so I hear.

#7 I'm with Old Patriot on this one. There is a discerneable and disturbing trend in all of this.
A bio/chem cache found in a schoolyard by soldiers, reported on by an embed. Afterwards, the story is buried. We've seen a number of these and the next week it's always the same: The coalition has yet to find any WMDs, and all previous reports have turned up negative. Really? How so? There has been absolutely nothing concrete offered up to refute anything that has been reported so far.
Not like me to be the paranoid, but the patterns are there, and I bet they continue.

#8 One thing would appear to be certain:

You don't fill artillery rounds with pesticides...

#9 One thing that has not had much mention is the difference between WMD and pesticides.There is not much difference they both work on the same principals.The major difference is concentration and exposure time.
