I just got a phonecall saying something big was about to break RE: WMD but I can't get to a TV. Anyone?
If we know of 500 shells, there were likely many, many more...probably most of it shipped out to Syria as General Georges Sada, one of Saddam's air marshals, said was the case.
Mildly. The English tells us nothing about the origin, however. After all, if it was of US origin, there would be a second set of instructions... in Spanish ;)
THOSE are not 'sarin gas vials'.
Those are sampling tubes that will change color when air containing sarin, soman or other "V" gases are passed thru them.
These types of reaction tubes are placed into an air sampling machine. The machine 'sniffs' the air and if any dangerous/impure gasses are present, then an indicator inside the tube will change color.
Notice the label on the carton the left..."FOR WORKING INSTRUCTIONS, refer to the INSTRUCTION LEAFLET"...
Terrorists don't put such labeling in ENGLISH and RUSSIAN on such things..

Wow, 7+ million deaths in just 500 shells. Thanks for the run down.
I understand. I think the administration's mistake was letting people expect us to find nuclear warheads etc. I think this type of thing was always the realistic expectation.
Yes

See post #86...that is all I know...I missed Santorum's appearance on Fox...
Hopefully he will tell more on Hannity and Colmes tonight..
probably because they don't watch FOX
Absolutely!
"Santorum reading from an intelligence report regarding over 500 artillery shells found in Iraq."
I guess Santorum is ripping this out of the administration's hands. He is taking the timing issue into his own hands.
The issue perhaps has MORE strength in Sept. to Nov. than way back in June.
Suppose Santorum is desparate, in his own race?
Of course, that is with the most efficient delivery system. Nonetheless, one shell sold on the black market could sure do a number on a world cup soccer match, the Olympics, or the Superbowl (or maybe even the Qabaa?)
This story has been out for a while now. Why is there nothing on the wires yet? I mean, just a brief note to say what's going on would be fine for now. The only thing I'm finding is from something called hotair.com
Where's the story on this???
(grrrr!)
Thanks!
