According to CNN today, U.N. weapons inspectors Thursday found 11 empty chemical warheads and another one that needed further evaluation, all in "excellent condition," according to a U.N. spokesman.

"It is neither chemical, neither biological," Hossam Amin, head of Iraq's National Monitoring Directorate, said. "It is empty warheads. It is small artillery rockets. It is expired rockets. They were forgotten without any intention to use them, because they were expired since 10 years ago."

Amin dismissed any allegation that the find is significant, calling the material "forgotten."

Isn't that always the way it is? Anyone who has ever decorated their home for the holidays and then packed the stuff away after New Years can attest to this fact.

It's usually some time in the middle of January before you find that one last ornament that just didn't quite make it to the box in the attic!
