WMD FOUND IN IRAQ!

All reports are that Sarin Gas is being used against the troops in Iraq. This is the type of Weapons of Mass Destruction that the President wanted to destroy. This is the reason we went into Iraq to get rid of WMD like Sarin Gas. We need to make a loud and public issue of this. We need to bring WMD back to the forefront of why we went into Iraq. This sarin gas could only be manufactured in a large plant and there have to be more WMD factories somewhere. Let's get really vocal about this and put it in the face of the RATS that have claimed that WMD have not been found. They do exist and this is the latest proof. Let's make the RATS pay with this news!!!

How many shells "justify the war"?

[gilliam]

Rush and Hannity will cover this. Will 60 Minutes?

[PISANO]

A ONE day story, the LEFTISTS in the MEDIA have got this covered...ie It was only ONE, It was OLD, the terrorists didn't know it was a WMD, WHERE are the rest, NO delivery vehicle, We went to WAR for ONE 155mm artillery piece?.....blah blah blah....

This story does not HURT GW and it does NOT help effingkerry so it will be HISTORY shortly.

[gilliam]

A stockpile. 1 doesn't make a pile.

[jwalsh07]

How many shells does a stockpile equal?

[sibbel]

I do not know about the USA
but the Sarin find has been headline news on TV, Radio and papers in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK all day.
According to these news Kimmit called it a
old version 155mm shell. He further said that the insurgent laying the booby trap probably did not know what the shells contained.

[gilliam]

Who knows? As many as it takes to make NBC happy, I suppose. But I do know, it is too hard to convince anyone with 1.

[texasflower]

60 minutes? Well sure. They are interested in the truth right?

OK, I was dreaming for a second. I'm awake now.

I guess that would be a big fat NO!

[gilliam]

Kimmit called it a old version 155mm shell.

Yes he did, one possibly from the Iran / Iraq war.

Good to hear they are on the story.

[PokeyJoe]

Actually, didn't the US have a policy pre-war telegraphed to the tyrant "If you use a WMD, we reserve the right to retaliate in kind?"

Now that the Islaminazi's have released a WMD against UStroops... it is time to respond with MASSIVE FORCE -stop playing patty wack and just play "WACK"

If the Islamiwackos percieve that we will not pick up the punch they will try WMD again... but next time they might get the fuse timing correct and actually deploy the agent.

I think it's time to take off the velvet glove, and just hit them with the IRON FIST so hard that they think twice about trying a WMD attack again.....

and not apologize....

and be brutally honest up front...

We are going to attack the enemy in a way that demonstrates our anger.....

MOAB the damn Al Sadr to Hell.... and if he's in a mosque... so be it.

[gilliam]

Doesn't matter, if you have enough to convince 60 minutes, then you have enough to convince the nation.

[gilliam]

Doesn't matter, if you have enough to convince 60 minutes, then you have enough to convince the nation.

[cold_daknight]

One shell could do some mass destruction if it were unleashed on the USA. This is the reason we took Saddam out. Now they are using WMD on the troops. We were totally justified in going to Iraq to destroy WMD. See, we already destroyed one shell and there are sure to be thousands of more.

[texasflower]

So it is getting pretty good coverage over there?

How are they covering it? Are they downplaying it or what?

[jwalsh07]

Yes he did, one possibly from the Iran / Iraq war.

Iraq did not have binary GB arty in the Iran/Iraq war.

[sibbel]

I do not know how you would call it,
till know they do not give it any judgment above what General Kimmit had to say about it. He did not call it WMD and he downplayed it.
So if Kimmit calls it an old shell from before 1991 I guess there is nothing more in stock from this news flash.

But as I said it is headline news even in the German leftist magazines. The conservative papers give it less coverage. Dutch media covers in similar tone but quote a top rank coalition official to have stated that the shell is probably from the Iran/Irak war.

This is an extract from British coverage:

"SARIN GAS SHELL EXPLODES IN IRAQ

May 17 2004




By Steve Purcell


An artillery shell containing deadly sarin gas has exploded in Iraq, it was confirmed today.

A small amount of the nerve agent was released when the shell, discovered by a US military convoy, went off.

Two members of an explosives team have been treated for exposure to the gas.

Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt said today that the substance had been found in a 155mm artillery shell discovered by a U.S. convoy. The round, which had been rigged as an improvised explosive device, blew up causing a small release of the substance.

Brig Kimmitt said the round belonged to a class or ordnance that Saddam Hussein's ousted government had claimed to have destroyed before the 1991 Gulf War."

[I'm ALL Right!]

Not according to CNN and MSNBC. They were just "Banned weapons" and a "chemical shell". There's no such thing as a WMD.

[jwalsh07]

Who knows?

Well, I asked your opinion. You said one was not a stockpile. I want to know how many comprise a stockpile.

As many as it takes to make NBC happy, I suppose.

I suppose not. NBC couldn't find their collective asses with both hands.

But I do know, it is too hard to convince anyone with 1.

I've been convinced for many years that Iraq manufactured and stockpiled CB weapons. I consider those who oppose that view worthy of a room on the ward with Nurse Ratchet.

[texasflower]

Thank you for the info. General Kimmett definitely was definitely low key about it.

It sounds like they are covering it very similar to the way ours is covering it.

[jwalsh07]

15 year old binary GB shells will kill you just as dead as one made yesterday. The age is really not important. The fact that they are using them is.
