#1 While this is not an unbelievable story it is a bit odd that this is the only place it has been reported. If this report is true it SHOULD be a big story. And if this report is true, the lack of reporting should also be a big story.
And is Kassem trying to say the shells were abandoned Israeli munitions (whether chemical or not)?

#2 most western MSM dont read the Kuwaiti papers, afaict.

Haaretz, for all its dovishness, is in the region, and DOES read the Kuwaiti papers (or else at least is in touch with folks in Israel and the arab world who do read the Kuwaiti papers)

Now that its in Haaretz, which IS read by the western MSM, we will see what we will see.

#3 We'll 'see' absolutely nothing.

MSM is hell-bent on propping up this unbelieveably pathetic puppet and won't do a damned thing to sidetrack his ME ambitions, and certainly won't report anything that portrays HZB as the agressor (Israel is the enemy, according to liberals and this administration).
