Just thank God that it wasn't stored properly and was not used against our troops, unlike the Sarin shell....

Hans: Yes or no question: If the two shells, 1 of Sarin and 1 of Mustard Gas, are all that is found, do you feel that the WoMD have been found? |
The mustard gas was found in many large vats, it was NOT one single shell. But luckily it was not stored properly or it could have been used against us.
But yes, what we have found DOES in fact constitute WMD's. In fact, our whole definition of WMD's is changing with the threat of terrorists. During 9-11, a couple razor blades used properly in a plane with a tank full of fuel were in essence a WMD.
What would have happened if the plane was also loaded with Mustard gas? It would have been just horrible.
