RUMSFELD SAYS: IT wasn't SARIN! (roflmao!)
RUMSFELD: "IT WASN'T SARIN!"

Rumsfeld says it wasn't necessarily sarin

Washington-AP -- Don't jump to any conclusions just yet. That warning comes from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, after the U-S military in Iraq announced that a roadside bomb containing sarin nerve gas had exploded near a U-S military convoy.
Rumsfeld told a Washington, D-C audience that the "field test" showing the presence of sarin may not be accurate. He says more analysis needs to be done -- and that it may take some time to find out just what the chemical was.

In Baghdad, officials said the bomb was apparently left over from the Saddam era. They said two members of a military bomb squad were treated for "minor exposure" -- but that there were no serious injuries.

One official says the shell apparently contained two chemicals that are designed to combine and create sarin -- but that they didn't mix properly.

1. OMG!! Wouldn't that be the biggest laugh of the day!
ALL the nedia and Shrub supporters were so quick to jump on the news that Shrub was RIGHT....There were WMD's in Iraq!

If they have to take that all back, YEAHHH, yet another chink in the armor!

Boy I hope it wasn't sarin!!!!

Yet here it is a few hours after the "breaking news" and the war criminal himself throws water on the story.

LOL!

On edit, how many times have we been down this road with this "WMD found, er, nevermind" song and dance?

12. I bet Faux won't retract their bull when the real tests come up negative
they're claiming that the U.S. confirms WMDs found.
