The find is interesting.
A few questions / points.
- Why aren't we leaning on Syria a lot more if we suspect that is where the majority of WMD's went ? I admit that is a very plausible explanation for the non-findings in Iraq.
- The Iraqi army wasn't the most disciplined army in the world. Even very well disciplined armies 'lose' things or have things stolen from barracks. Theft or poor logistical management could explain this find.
- The linked article mentioned that the shell dates to the first Persian war. Could it be even fired from an artillery piece ?
If you folks have gotten this excited at the finding of one shell, I can't wait to see what you will say if / when we find a big pile !!
