Can't listen. What are they reporting? Is it significant?

They found a briefcase with Sarin nerve gas.

Windoze Media Player does NOT work, but the RealPlayer choice works fine.
It's worth the listen.

They said it was just a testing kit... But why would there be a testing kit if there were no WMDs in Iraq?

Are there any other links or text links for this story? This seems very important as every opponent of this war trots out the "no WMDs" mantra - as if Hussein didn't use WMDs already (how many countries are in that "club?") and wouldn't have presented a threat far into the future sitting atop the 2nd largets oil reserves in the world! That's assuming the WMDs didn't go to Syria, Iran, the black market (I sure hope not) or get buried deep in the desert somewhere...

NPR:
Morning Edition, November 11, 2004 · Host Renee Montagne speaks with General Richard Myers, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Myers gives us his take on the meaning of Veteran's Day to troops in the field, the situation in Fallujah and the possibility of the Marines finding Sarin gas.

It won't be reported by the MSM because it wasn't a STOCKPILE.

There have all kinds of incidents were WMD were found in Iraq, but in quantities other than a stockpile. So that's their justification for not bothering to report it.

Text of Sarin Gas Kits Discovery -

click on this link and click on the "Listen" button just under the headline to hear this interview.

NPR Anchor woman:
“NPR’s Anne Garrels is in Fallujah with Bravo Co, of the 1st Marine Battalion, 3rd Regiment. She says the unit has discovered kits to test for Sarin nerve gas and she joins me now…Now the Marines first thought that they had found Sarin Gas itself.”

Anne Garrels: “That’s right. Uh, Yesterday, uh, Iraqi troops and Marines assigned to Bravo Co., uh, were searching an area in the north of the city and they found a truck full of weapons and mortars and there was also a brief case. The intelligence officer with the Marines opened up the briefcase and found, uh, four packages with ten viles and on, on the packages written in English were “Sarin-V gasses” Uh, he says he was scared, well, uh, I can’t exactly say on the radio what he said (chuckling). When he saw this, uh Captain Garcias, uh, Captain Jared Garcias was elated at first that his company had actually found WMDs proving the war was justified. They called in specialists and now it appears that these were what they call “Sarin test kits.” Apprently kits to test for Sarin gas. I mean it does raise the question as to why the insurgents would have had these kit. We can’t answer that question now.”
