IRAQ WMD FOUND A DECADE AGO FOUND IN UNITED NATIONS BUILDING

I can't get over this story. This is from August 30th. "United Nations officials found vials of dangerous chemicals which had been removed from Iraq a decade ago in a building at the United Nations in New York. UN officials said that there was no danger. The FBI was called in to help remove the substances. The material was phosgene, a chemical warfare agent. The inspections unit said in a statement that the chemicals had been found last Friday. The Iraqi weapons inspectors came across the material as they were closing their offices which are housed in a building near the UN headquarters in Manhattan." Phosgene was used extensively during World War I as a choking agent. Okay, so in a UN building in New York City they found a dangerous chemical agent, well-known warfare agent, causes choking, and the agent comes from Iraq, removed ten years ago. How in the world does this mysteriously end up in a building in New York at the United Nations? Especially since we all know that there weren't any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. How in the hell can this happen? The real question is, "Where is the rest of the stuff?"

Wait a minute! I saw a report on the news the other night where they took the stuff to a military testing facility and found out it was cleaning fluid! Of course, your quote about not being able to make this stuff up because nobody would believe you still stands.

Let me get this straight... the UN inspectors found vials identified as Phosgene, with some other documentation, in Iraq. They brought them back to the UN in NY, for storage, still sealed. That was the time that the UN was denying that they had found any WMDs in Iraq, no? They rediscover this cache 11 years later, and treat it as Phosgene and ship it off for additional tests, still sealed. The military finds the material to be a commercial cleaner. Is that the story? You're right, nobody could make that up!! There's more to this than meets the eye... it stinks to high heaven... unless you think that Bush planted the stuff???

I just wonder what the heck is really going on.

The original event, and the "all clear," such as it was, got bigger play in New York because the whole affair was quite upsetting to everyone, occurring in Midtown Manhattan as it did. It's a jumpy city these days, 'specially after that steam pipe explosion.

The more I think about it the more pertinent are Jimmy's words of wisdom up there.
