Sarin Gas in Fallujah?
See Updates Below -- Update #1: Sarin test kits, most probably. Update #2: MSM still waddling along, left in the dust by blogs
This is not a huge surprise, but it is still bad news. Sarin find announced a few days ago confirmed in pictures, and it sure looks legit. Memo to Republicans: This is bad news. Do not make the same mistake as Democrats in deciding what is good and bad news based on how it vindicates or hurts Bush.

Update #1
More information in the link above at Captains Quarters. The betting line now is that these are Sarin test kits, rather than Sarin, which makes more sense anyway given how they were found.
It is amazing to me that USAToday and others could have this story now for days, and make less progress on what is really in this picture than amateur blog readers can in a couple hours in a comment thread. Interesting.
UPDATE #2 (1AM EST Thursday):
It has been well over 8 32 hours since readers at a number of sites, including Powerline and LGF, deconstructed this photo and concluded that these were Sarin test kits. USAToday has still not changed their story or their caption.
doc:
Perhaps a reader is out there who could translate the German or Russian labeling? These may in fact represent medication to fit into an injector.
