Small deployable weapons are great. They disrupt an initial attack, and send the rest in panic to deploy countermeasures, even though they themselves arre not being attacked with WMD

And, according to this guys testimony, his troops had them with their personal vehicles, they would have deployed with their own vehicles, not in centralized trucks, and they would have withdrawn with separate vehicles, nnot centralized trucks.

Good find, Race! Should be Breaking News.

I doubt it will be discussed on the Sunday Talk Show circuit though. It will be Turkeys on platters, how to beat W and how well Dean did in Orlando yesterday.

Just heard brief comments on this subject on Fox n Friends. They failed to give it the time and depth it deserves, perhaps they'll have more later. Perhaps not.

They seems to be more interested in the lifting of the ban on blankets for the Patriot's game today.

Can someone explain WHY blankets have been banned by the Patriots?

An old story:

Years ago at a baseball game when the temperature was quite chilly.

The announcers noticed a couple in the stands who were keeping warm by staying under a blanket and only sticking their heads out once in a while. Later, one of the announcers said, "I've finally figured out what they are doing. He's kissing her on the Strikes and she's kissing him on the . . . "

Well, Gee Whiz.

And I thought the logistics of a 1961 Volkswagon were difficult!

Thanks for this information. I'm out of the loop, without a blanket, I guess.

A late bloomer, eh?

OK. I'm shoving this in the noses of some "Get out of Iraq" opponents on another board and they're claiming, "This claim was pretty much proved false in the Hutton inquiry."

Is this old news or something new?

brand new news

[RandallFlagg]

I'm looking at FR links to this "Hutton Inquiry" right now. Anything you know about it would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

[txhurl]

FNC mentioning the nearly-deployed WMD right now.

[squidly]

Even the U.S. tinkered with a shoulder-fired nuclear weapon, back in the day.

Not a FR link but here is a link to the transcripts.
