No Smoking Gun Here...

Coalition forces have discovered 11 mobile chemical factories buried near a artillery plant. These are, of course, perfectly innocent.

Why? I'm glad you asked...

Ten Perfectly Good Reasons to park mobile chemical labs underground near a weapons plant:

10. The mother of all sandstorms

9. The guy from the motor pool was having an off day.

8. It’s a great way to beat the heat

7. It spoils the U.N. inspectors’ view of the buildings

6. There’s just no parking in downtown Karbala these days

5. Isn’t this how you normally park in the desert?

4. These are props for the next Indiana Jones movie: "Raiders of the Smoking Gun"

3. They’re trying to keep Iraqi insects from spying on pesticide development

2. It was a fraternity joke that got a little out of hand

1. They’re testing pesticides that only work underground.
