PING!!??
Medieval people being killed by a medieval disease. Ironic, no?
God is Great!
Sorry Sammy, but this was posted yesterday.
But I’ll answer your query the same way I did everyone else’s yesterday.
No, this wasn’t a bioweapon. These terrorists are living in very remote areas infested with rodents, the carriers of plague.
Every year in this country a half-dozen or so people, usually hunters, get the plague. Rabbits in this country are the wildlife reservoir for plague bacteria. A woman died here in the U.S. last year from plague that wasn’t diagnosed quickly enough.
I did find the news that the terrorists fled Algeria, and hopefully some went to Pakistan and Afghanistan, carrying the disease with them. Takes about a week for symptoms to show up after initial exposure. Nature dealing the war on terror one hell of a boost!
God sure works in mysterious, and not so mysterious, ways.
Incubators and or test subjects...
Hate to say it, but they don’t give a hoot if they die this way, as long as they take as many as they can in the process...
“**So now we know for sure that they’re playing with some pretty potent bio stuff???**”
Kills within hours? Sounds like botulinium to me. Hope it kills them all.. painfully.
The Destruction of Sennacherib
The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
Like the leaves of the forest when Summer is green,
That host with their banners at sunset were seen:
Like the leaves of the forest when Autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
And there lay the steed with his nostril all wide,
But through it there rolled not the breath of his pride;
And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf,
And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf.
And there lay the rider distorted and pale,
With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail:
And the tents were all silent, the banners alone,
The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown.
And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail,
And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal;
And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword,
Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord!
Lord Byron, 1815
It just “showed up”, huh?
good riddance to bad rubbish
The more troubling scenario is that this was a bio-war "work accident".
“Test Subjects?”
That’s the first thing I thought of. Don’t know if you could pull this off without rats (we’ve got plenty in this country) and fleas.
I hope they’re not blaming the poor rats for the fleas. More than likely, the rats caught the fleas from the terrorists.
Thank you God.
God’s will
interesting! did an expert that listened to the last bin laden tape say he sounded sick? :D
The military has forced these guys into very primitive conditions, and it doesn't surprise me this is starting to show up. What is concerning is that there is the possibility of it spreading well beyond the Middle East very quickly.
