The good news: We finally found WMDs!!
The bad news: They're not Saddam's alleged WMDs, and they're nowhere near Syria. They're in Myanmar, also known as Burma.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/04/21/myanmar.rights/index.html

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Military forces in Myanmar have been accused by an international rights group of using chemical weapons on rebel fighters.

The incident allegedly took place near the country's northwestern border with Thailand in February, Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) said Thursday.

Some of the Karenni rebels, who have been fighting a long-running war with the country's military government, described a "yellow vapor" with a "pungent and irritating odor."

"Their eyes started watering and they tasted a bitter odor" followed by "a burning sensation" in their throats, said CSW's president, Australian physician Dr. Martin Panter, who traveled to the area to examine five of the rebel fighters.

"Thirty minutes later they began to cough up blood. Blisters began to appear on their skin and they were unable to walk," Panter told CNN.

6. For some weird reason Iraq was listed as well
But I quickly deleted it when I spotted it. It must have had a freeper origin LOL. Belarus and the Ukrain were listed because they supposedly returned all nuclear weapons, however there are several hunderd warheads missing (what is this world coming to?)
