Anyone with more insight on this Because sarin gas has very short shelf-life, its manufacture may mean its use is imminent:  Certainly no expert here, but from what I understand is that to use sarin, you mix the compounds, then put the compound into the delivery vehicle (bomb, missile, etc) and you go ahead and fire away. If it isn't used within a short time period, the chemical reaction that creates the sarin stops reacting. I believe that to be true. [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Sarin degrades after a period of several weeks to several months. The shelf life can be shortened by impurities in precursor materials. According to the CIA, some Iraqi sarin had a shelf life of only a few weeks, owing mostly to impure precursors.[12] The persistence of sarin can be extended through the addition of certain oils or petroleum products.
