Latest WMD Discovery (..same as it ever was)
War enthusiasts have been griping over the lack of media coverage given to discoveries of WMD's in Iraq. Perhaps it's because these discoveries have an unerring record as mistakes.
Scene 1: Trumpeting of a significant WMD discovery: <article> Polish Army Finds WMD Artillery Shells
Scene 2: Two days later, a retraction: <article> Correction! Polish Army Found Empty Artillery Shells
This week's winner in the "Define 'Irony'" newsbit contest: "An attack with such weapons would be hard to imagine," says "mortified" Gen. Marek Dukaczewski after Polish troops and military intelligence <mistakenly believe they> find the deadly nerve agent cyclosarin in Iraq.
My question is, suppose we do find some chemical or biological weapons in Iraq. At this point, how can we be sure who put them there?
