It was only a matter of time. We knew that Saddam had chemical weapons that were unaccounted for -- they hadn't been found and there was no convincing story that they had been destroyed. So they were bound to turn up, found buried, shipped to Syria, somewhere. It turns out terrorists found them first, as Fox News reports confirmation of Sarin gas in an artillery shell used in a roadside bomb in Iraq on Saturday. Two weeks ago a mustard gas shell was found. Hopefully the Army will be able to determine who set the ambushes and trace back to the source of these weapons, so the truth about Iraqi WMD programs can be told.
Update: Blaster's Blog is covering this better than one else I've seen. (Via Instapundit.) Like they say, just keep scrolling.
