SUMMARY

A recent discovery in Iraq confirmed the presence of chemical weapons, specifically a 155-millimeter artillery round containing sarin nerve agent, which exploded near a U.S. military convoy. This incident, reported by Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, marks the second chemical weapon found, following the earlier discovery of mustard gas. Both weapons are believed to date back to the regime of Saddam Hussein, who failed to account for significant stockpiles of such munitions. The findings raise concerns about the potential resurgence of chemical attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical warfare terminology, specifically "sarin" and "mustard gas."
  • Familiarity with military ordnance, particularly "155-millimeter artillery rounds."
  • Knowledge of the historical context of Iraq's chemical weapons program under Saddam Hussein.
  • Awareness of the implications of chemical exposure and antidotes used in military settings.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the chemical properties and effects of sarin gas and mustard gas.
  • Study the historical use of chemical weapons in warfare, particularly during the Iraq-Iran War.
  • Examine military protocols for handling and disposing of chemical munitions.
  • Investigate the role of the Iraqi Survey Group in locating weapons of mass destruction.
USEFUL FOR

Military analysts, historians studying chemical warfare, policymakers involved in defense strategies, and anyone interested in the implications of chemical weapons in modern conflicts.

Tassel,

You are a true believer in your president. You and studentx. Such people are hard to find, given the wealth of evidence that Bush 2 has repeatedly lied to his people (see aluminum tubes, chemical vans, budget for medicare bill, why members of bin Laden family were flown out of country without FBI interrogation, how I saved the environment, how I served my National Guard term and "worked it out" with the military to be discharged early, etc. )

Perhaps you should work on his campaign...he can use some staunch support.

Im not a believer in Bush, and I am not American. I know Bush lies, i get over it.
There is simply no benefit to supporting this anti American attitude. Half the damage (if not more) of this war is caused by this attitude.
I do respect Bush for never adressing the hate against him. At least he has some pride left

An anti-Bush opinion never killed anyone. Generally it's bullets doing that, and bombs, a great many of them made in America.
