WONDER WHY YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT THIS?

If you use this link [ http://www.usatoday.com/news/graphics/phantom_fury/flash.htm ] to visit the USA Today web site you will be treated to a flash presentation of several pictures taken during the siege of Fallujah._ Picture number two in this presentation shows 40 vials in boxes labeled "Sarin."_ That's sarin gas, my friends._ One drop of this stuff on your skin can kill you._ The boxes have Cyrillic and German characters on them, indicating they may have come from our good friends the Russians or the Germans._ The caption under the photo reads "Marines discovered 40 vials of suspected Sarin gas while searching a house in Fallujah, Iraq._ It was secreted in a briefcase hidden in a truck in the courtyard of the house."_

So ... there you go._ Weapons of mass destruction._ Chemical weapons._ This Sarin gas could, with an effective application, kill thousands._ And where do they find it?_ In a briefcase!_ A briefcase in a car trunk. And you wonder why our troops have had some difficulty finding Saddam's weapons?_ You still think inspections could have worked?_ Yeah, sure they would._ The inspectors were going to look in every car trunk and every briefcase in Iraq._

What you see in that picture is proof that the only way to even come close to neutralizing the threat that Saddam posed was to remove him from power._ Nothing else was going to work.

Meanwhile ... just watch the critics whistle past this one._ If you don't mention the vials of Sarin gas, they just don't exist ... do they?
