I'm back online briefly after my jog.........

While spending time on the treadmill I had FOX on and one of their experts said his sources are telling him VX GAS!

"However, the statement about chemical weapons has never been attributed nor has the nature of the chemical ever been stated."

John Loftis (?) on FOX this morning gave a pretty good report; he said it was VX gas (?).

Sorry; I didn't mean to step on your post! I just hadn't gotten that far down the page yet.

I saw it while on MY treadmill!

Jordanians could then finish them off with total air superiority and a propensity to not be as nice as we are

another good idea: let the Northern Alliance come to Iraq

VX wow that is significant. Also it looks like the chemical statement can now be attributed to the king himself. Also significant. Since that stuff doesn't grow on trees, then its safe to say they got it from some government source and it sends credence to the fact it may have come from Iraqi stockpiles. Also it means that its likely also with Hezballah. This is a very disturbing development and its surprising that more foreign governments including our own aren't talking about this.

silence by the major news media

google searches of authors of stories on reuters shows anti-war web sites, gay advoicacy groups and generally a completely one-sided biased group of mostly international writers.

a small group is trying to influence opinion. balance is the last thing they are concerned with.

"In his testimony before Congress last year, weapons inspector Kay said U.S. satellite surveillance showed substantial vehicular traffic going from Iraq to Syria just prior to the U.S. attack on March 19, 2003."

I wonder is this will break on Monday?

Also significant. Since that stuff doesn't grow on trees, then its safe to say they got it from some government source and it sends credence to the fact it may have come from Iraqi stockpiles.

Does this sort of thing have any kind of chemical "fingerprint" so that it can be traced to beginning products or "matched" to another batch somewhere else?

[Ranger]

Good question. I don't know but I'll bet others on this thread can answer that.

"....I saw it while on MY treadmill!...."

LOL.

"I think there has been an exaggeration," Mr. Kerry said when asked whether President Bush has overstated the threat of terrorism. "They are misleading all Americans in a profound way." - John Kerry 1/29/04

Selective Forgetfulness

While the Liberals have long accused the Bush administration of making up tall tales concerning Iraq’s WMD program, and have outright accused them of using 9/11 to falsely justify last year’s war, they now find themselves in a precarious position. What to do about a terror-sponsoring country who potentially held onto Iraq’s WMD’s for “safe keeping?”

. . . if it turns out Al Qaeda did, indeed, get their WMD’s from Syria, who originally got them from Iraq, it will be one of the most “I-Told-You-So” moments the Bush administration could ever dream of.

[PISANO]

I have NOT heard the name AL Qaeda used for those who tried to do this bombing on FOX NEWS. I can't vouch for other news outlets.

[SubMareener]

My prediction is that it is going to be even better! It is likely some of the stuff went to Iran as well. It may take two stones, but two birds with two stones isn't that bad! :-)

bump and thanks!
