THEY MUST BE HERE SOMEWHERE

BAGHDAD, Iraq - An explosion leveled part of a building as American troops searched it for suspected production of "chemical munitions," a U.S. general said. Two soldier were killed and five wounded in the blast, and a cheering mob of Iraqis looted their wrecked Humvees, taking away weapons and equipment.

Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt did not say what sort of chemical munitions were believed to be produced at the site.

"Chemical munitions could mean any number of things," including smoke grenades, he said. After the blast, there was no sign in the area of precautions against chemicals.

Asked about reports that the raid team included members of the Iraq Survey Group -- the U.S. team searching for weapons of mass destruction in the country -- Kimmitt would say only, "The inspection was by a number of coalition forces." ...

Bloody hell -- are soldiers dying in Iraq because they're still looking for WMDs?!?

(Note that no precautions were taken after the blast. They didn't find WMDs. Is that a surprise to any human being with functioning gray matter?)
