Possible Iraqi Chemical Weapons Found - Denmark

GHDAD (Reuters) - Danish troops have found dozens of mortar rounds buried in Iraq (news - web sites) which chemical weapons tests show could contain blister gas, the Danish army said on Saturday.

The initial tests, which have yet to be confirmed, were taken after Danish troops found 36 120mm mortar rounds on Friday hidden in southern Iraq. The Danish army said the rounds had been buried for at least 10 years.

"However, this will not be confirmed until the final tests are available," it said in a statement after the initial examination of liquid leaking from the weapons.

Results of final tests were likely to be ready in about two days.

2. Buried for AT LEAST 10 years?

What's the shelf life on blister gas? Hell, what's the shelf life on buried rusty 120mm mortar rounds?

HAHAHA...

They cut up old inner tubes to make a giant slingshot that they were gonna use to launch 'em. Proof positive! They had inner tubes, they had rusty shells!

8. I don't think blister gas is a WMD. I believe Scott Ritter said

that mustard gas and a lot of the other stuff is not WMD. However, anything to the president is a WMD.
