"Did Nazi Germany use chemical wepons against our troops even though they had Sarin Gas and we didn't?"

Are you on a wind up with this thread?

Tell of their compassion and restraint to six million jews who got the not so soft side of their restraint with mass murder capability. Sheesh.

Hey, Saddam DEFFO had WMD in the 1990/91 Gulf War, and if we accept intelligence reports also was clinging on to them in the 2003 War. Does him not using them make him a good guy?

I'm really not sure where you are going with your point? (I am guessing you meant somthing like "everyone knows the Nazis were evil SOBs, but these AQ guys are all that and then some")

Sorry trying to do three things at once so posted link with nothing else...

He is DUSTWUN, the status that creates a pit in your stomach as soon as you read it. More to follow, the thing (MTF) I absolutely hate to see in a report because it means we're pushing this early report out before we get some concrete info, but don't want to appear as if we're hiding anything.

All I can tell you is track the story. And it is ongoing.

Did Nazi Germany use chemical wepons against our troops even though they had Sarin Gas and we didn't? Nope. If al-Qaeda gets its hands on Sarin would they bat an eye at using it on our troops? Nope.

You are supposing -- and comparing on the basis of supposition.

The Nazis used gas to exterminate massive numbers of people. They were aggressively into chemical weapons development. Hitler was gassed in WW1; some have considered the possibility that his experience affected his soldiering policies in WW2; I have no idea what the truth is on that count.

The overall atrocity level of the Germans and the Nazis, the cruelty, the barbarism, the ethnic cleansing, the sheer mass of humanity that died at German hands, so many of whom suffered a tortuously long death, puts the Nazis in a rather spectacularly singular class to date.

It doesn't say if the soldier is male or female, does it?

Saddam never used chemical weapons against our troops even in the 1992 Gulf War that makes him better then al-Qaeda.

You forgot the whole point of what we are talking about.

If al-Qaeda is worse then the Nazi's. And, the answer to that question is yes. al-Qaeda with the chemical weapons Germany had during the war like Sarin would have used them on Brit civilians and the USSR.

That is not to say Nazi Germany or Saddam's Iraq were nice places. But, they were not as totally evil as al-Qaeda.

Zarqawi planned a freeking chemical attack to kill tens of thousands on the captial city of his own damn country.

"Maybe they should check with CNN."

Excellent point. I often wonder how many times in their dealings with the terrorists what CNN knew about pendings attacks and when they knew it. Traitorous b#$%tards!

Oh dear God, please let them find him alive, and in good condition. Whenever I see this happen it scares me because of what those terrorists do to our guys.

Baghdad Soldier was listed as duty status-whereabouts unknown Oct. 24 in Baghdad at approximately 7:30 p.m.

I'm confused. Is the date or time wrong? I thought Baghdad was no more than 8 hrs ahead of us. Did the report mean Oct. 23?

This crap has to stop. I put the blame on Dubya for attempting to fight a PC war. It is waaaaaay past time to take the gloves off, and finish these ba$tard$ off.
