USA Today website 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?

It turned out to be a test kit to test for the presence of nerve gas; left over from the Iran/Iraq War. Same old same old.
Real Sarin nerve gas is stored in a mechanical device that mixes two chemicals together to produce the gas, preferably in flight in a missile or artillery shell. It's too deadly to handle otherwise.
The reason you haven't heard about it is that the story is a dud. It is silly to think the news media would surpress the story. Fox news alone would run it for days, and the President would be on national TV, doing a dance. As usual, just more Koolaid. Drink it up, dude.
