What tabun is:
Tabun is a man-made chemical warfare agent classified as a nerve agent. Nerve agents are the most toxic and rapidly acting of the known chemical warfare agents. They are similar to pesticides (insect killers) called organophosphates in terms of how they work and what kinds of harmful effects they cause. However, nerve agents are much more potent than organophosphate pesticides. Tabun was originally developed as a pesticide in Germany in 1936.

Tony Montana's hidden supply of cocaine I presume?

Sounds like a chemical nerve agent to me (most commonly used in insecticides)

I wouldn't classify CNN as a chemical weapon either. They're offensive, and they sure do stink, but it isn't deadly. They're closer to a sewage plant.

Tabun is absorbed through the skin and lungs and exposed individuals lose muscle control and die of suffocation in minutes. What was it that disinfo-critter was reading from the supposed Saddam-rant? "Do not let them take their breath" or something like that. Hmmmm.......

While they were originally saying it was chemical weapons, did CNN by any chance announce who wins the next Preidency race?

Was it really anthrax? Does it matter? It was a visual.

Good thing Geraldo wasn't there - he would have tested it himself, right on the spot!
