TRUCK BOMB WITH CHLORINE KILLS 12 PEOPLE IN IRAQI CITY OF RAMADI, SAYS U.S. MILITARY

[tcrlaf]

ANOTHER ONE? Or is this the one reported as killing 25 earlier today?

[Centurion2000]

OK folks, Chlorine = checmical attack = WMD.

[zarf]

How many outdoor pools are in Iraq?

[HAL9000]

Maybe so, but I’m not certain. This bulletin was sent on the Reuters newswire a few minutes ago.

[geopyg]

If this is a new one (seems that it is) - is this the second or third one?

[Salvation]

The WMD have always been in Iraq or stored in Syria. Bush was right and is right.

When will the dims own up to their mistakes? Twnety years hence?

[Tommyjo]

Chlorine is a commercially available product. Think of water treatment. Would you rather see all chlorine banned in Iraq? It is used in bleach and water purification. Would you rather have a cholera epedimic?

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

OK folks, Chlorine = checmical attack = WMD.

Get real. We didn't invade Iraq for their big chlorine bomb problem. Just what is the point of your post?

[LanaTurnerOverdrive]

Bush was right and is right.

What....you mean when he said Saddam didn't have WMD?

Islamist Websites Monitor No. 2 Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir: American Military Bases are an Ideal Environment for Trying Out Biological and Dirty Bombs

[On September 28, 2006, Islamist websites posted an audio recording by commander of Al-Qaeda in Iraq Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir, which included a number of messages.]

“My final message is [addressed] to those who have special skills and qualifications amongst the experts in [the fields of] chemistry, physics, management, electronics, communications and all the advanced specialties, particularly nuclear scientists and [experts] on explosives. I say [to them]: we have urgent need of you. The front of jihad will suit your aspirations. The American military bases, with their large areas, are an ideal environment for trying out your non-conventional bombs: the biological [bombs] and the so-called ‘dirty’ bombs...”

[expat_panama]

Get real. We didn't invade Iraq for their big chlorine bomb problem.

--and not their nerve gas attacks,  for their nuke program, biological attacks, nor their involvement with 9/11, or their other attacks on Americans, or not even Sadam's declared war on us and our way of life.   We all know it was only for Halliburton

< / sarcasm >

By the way, what was the point of your post?

I just checked with my son who is on the ground in Ramadi. He heard the blast on Friday but reports that he hasn’t heard anything Saturday. This is NOT to say that there hasn’t been a second blast; it is just not to his knowledge.

[JemiansTerror]

Yeah,that was probably just a revision or a reprint of the chlorine bomb that killed 27 yesterday. I have heard no new annoucements of a second chlorine bomb.

[JemiansTerror]

Maybe they’re just a little late and talking about a bomb that we had a few weeks back. It wouldnt be the first time that the news media has tried to make something look bigger than it really is.

[Jemian]

Hi, Son. Happy Easter to you. Christ is risen!

[Jemian]

Your dad says hello. Your dad says, “what are you doing and stop it!” I say, “Keep your clothes on!”

[tobyhill]

It is the same as the 27 killed except with the corrected numbers. The MSM’s source from Ramadi has continued to inflate the numbers but got called and caught on this one.

[Jemian]

Thanks, Toby. We had pretty much decided that since JT had not heard the bomb, nor was there any scuttlebutt around the base about another one. Thanks for the clarification.
