Rumsfeld back pedals
This morning on CNN "we have to be careful not to misstate this". Was talking about possible sarin in road side bomb. Imho this means he already has a negative result.

1. Yeah, either that...

4. Yep
Just believable enough to fool a bunch of people and the press. Tomorrow they will come out and say that the tests were inconclusive, and it will be reported in a little tiny blurb in the back half of the world section in the papers.

3. But they got the headline and Faux news has been running with it
big time.

I turned on Faux for a few moments this morning and since I knew better, I was able to laugh. I pity those who find Faux credible. Those who are willfully propagandized.

5. plant yes
we just need a digital photo of the unexploded prop laying next to the road with the big yellow arrow sign over it "Hey, new IED with really old WMD -- right . . here!".

Mission Accomplished.
