How many shells "justify the war"?
Rush and Hannity will cover this. Will 60 Minutes?
This story does not HURT GW and it does NOT help effingkerry so it will be HISTORY shortly.
A stockpile. 1 doesn't make a pile.
How many shells does a stockpile equal?
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.
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.
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!
Yes he did, one possibly from the Iran / Iraq war.
Good to hear they are on the story.
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.
Doesn't matter, if you have enough to convince 60 minutes, then you have enough to convince the nation.
Doesn't matter, if you have enough to convince 60 minutes, then you have enough to convince the nation.
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.
So it is getting pretty good coverage over there?
How are they covering it? Are they downplaying it or what?
Iraq did not have binary GB arty in the Iran/Iraq war.
Not according to CNN and MSNBC. They were just "Banned weapons" and a "chemical shell". There's no such thing as a WMD.
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.
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.
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.
