and I fear this is only the beginning (and even if some, even most, turn out to be false alarms, we're still going to find tons of WMD in Iraq)...

from MSNBC

1) NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO reporter John Burnett said top officers of the U.S. 1st Marine Division told him warheads had been found south of Baghdad in a warehouse near the airport by soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division.

The officers told him the warheads were on Iraqi BM-21 unguided rockets. Those rockets are about 10 feet long, with a range of approximately 15 miles. The BM-21 is a 40-year-old truck-mounted system with 40 rocket tubes, intended for close support of troops.

The U.S. commanders said the rockets appeared to be ready to fire. It was unclear whether any Iraqi troops were in the area when the rockets were found.

2) NBC’s Dana Lewis reported from near Karbala on Monday that U.S. Army commanders say they have discovered more than a dozen barrels of chemicals in an agricultural facility 30 miles northeast of there that have tested positive as blister and nerve agents.

3) And the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. military officers had told troops that soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division had captured an Iraqi BMP Armored Personnel Carrier that was believed to contain sarin gas and mustard gas.
