Wait...you mean Saddam lied?

From the AP comes this interesting item out of Baghdad:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) A roadside bomb containing deadly sarin nerve agent exploded near a U.S. military convoy, the U.S. military said Monday. It was believed to be the first confirmed finding of any of the banned weapons upon which the United States based its case for the Iraq war.
Any guesses as to how the anti-war pro-Saddam left will spin this? Then there's this:
It was unclear if the sarin shell was from chemical rounds that the United Nations had tagged and marked for destruction before the U.S. invasion.
Does this matter? If it was, it proves that not all these weapons were destroyed per the requirements of the UN resolution. If it wasn't, it proves how useless the UN inspections were in the first place.
