Congratulations, hawks

The Coalition has found, if that verb is accurate, one weapon of mass destruction in Iraq.

Far from expecting that this is the first evidence of the promised thousands of tons of WMD, the US is worried that this might mean there's another rusty artillery shell in a collector's basement somewhere.

Unless we invaded Iraq on account of one unexploded field munition from the 1980s, the Iraq Survey Group had better keep looking.

Update: I have posted a follow-up here.

on a slightly different note, they have found twice the amount of munitions than the US keeps on reserve at any time and are expecting to find more.

Sorry, but to what specifically do you refer? I'm not even sure who "they" are, from your comment, and I have no clue what type of munition or what location you mean.
