"..On April 17, Jordanian police seized an amount of WMD chemicals being carried into Jordan from Syria by Al Qaeda terrorists. Three booby-trapped pickups were loaded with explosives and VX poison gas containers..."

Allow me to scream BS here! Nowhere in any publication other than WND is VX poison gas mentioned. WND got the VX item from a radio report from John Loftus who was speculating. WND then quoted Loftus and now this author is basically doing the same thing. One person starts a rumor or "fact" and others join in start quoting each other. When it doesn't pan out, they claim coverup. When VX is mentioned generally in other sources and the DOD or other credible sources say VX then I will believe it.

This type of "reporting" is why I take anything from WND with a grain of salt.

What about this:

"Jordan’s King Abdullah and his intelligence chief General Kheir publicly announced that if the terrorists had succeeded in their confessed plan to detonate the VX in Amman near the American Embassy, over 20,000 people would have been massacred."

Was such a publc statement made?

Here's another one...

It is these foreign terrorists that are primarily responsible for the atrocities in Fallujah and elsewhere, killing US and Coalition soldiers as well as innocent Iraqis.

I've read reports from our troops, as well as from embedded reporters, that the majority of the islamofascists attacking Coalition Forces in Fallujah are Iraqi-homegrown, with a very small minority of imported psychos from Syria.

You are correct in your assumption of BS..
At least to the best of my ability to ascertain said BS..

After a 30-minute search of Google, etc..
Only explosives were found, i.e., materials for a chemical bomb or weapon

The poison gas, (closest I could find, no mention of VX gas except in reference to Loftus report) was a seperate operation, planned for a possible future date, or other location.. no gas, poison, VX, or otherwise was seized, intercepted, or found..

Likewise, I could find no statement from Jordan's King Abdullah claiming that VX gas or just "gas" was found.

Just to sum up, it was explosives, no gas, no VX..
But they're pretty sure it came from Syria..

The USA Today, MSNBC, and AP all describe the weapon as a chemical weapon and poison gas capable of killing thousands coming from Syria. Sounds like a WMD to me. Are you really going to have a little girl hissy fit over whether it is VX, Sarin, or Mustard Gas.
