U.S. troops find missiles buried near Tikrit

[spinbaby]

Yep, the yahoo front page says "U.S. troops find missiles buried near Tikrit" leaving the impression that maybe it's WDM. A look at the article reveals that it's small anti-aircraft stuff and homemade explosives of some kind.

Getting desperate, they are.

1. Those must be the "..45 minute- missles"

Too bad it only took FIVE MONTHS to find them.. They are probably just more of the rusty old beat up ones like they found before..:shrug:

3. I doubt it, I'm sure they are fully functional weapons ...

... If true, I say that it's a good thing for sure. I for one don't want my son killed by them.

2. Have they changed the headline?

when I view I get

U.S. Troops Find Weapons Cache in Iraq (which you will agree is a more accurate statement)

4. They did change the headline

"TIKRIT, Iraq - U.S. troops uncovered one of their biggest weapons caches to date Saturday at a farm near Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s birthplace, including anti-aircraft missiles and a huge quantity of explosives used to make the homemade bombs that have killed numerous American soldiers."

6. Sorry, wasn't clear

The Yahoo HOME page ( http://www.yahoo.com/ ) says "U.S. troops find missiles buried near Tikrit." It's not until you get to the article that you find it's no big deal.

With "Death To Infidels" written on the side in pencil and stuffed with match-heads?
