Ritter: They called them “binary,” but what that meant was that they had a warhead full of isopropyl alcohol and at the last second they mixed in the difluor. [32]
BRG: “Mix-in-flight.” Ritter: It’s not even “mix-in-flight.”

The shell which was deployed against our troops was an entirely new type of animal - not the crude type the inspectors found in 1996 (noting, then, even, those were discovered by UN inspectors, none - even those old, antiquated variety - were ever declared by Saddam)
