How do you say, "Let's roll" in Russian? "Pokatili" according to Russian FReeper, Ivan Ivanov.

D@mn reporters can't bear to admit that regular civilians are capable of
defending themselves from evil preditors like these Chechen terrorists.
They have to paint them as "panicked" and "desperate."

I say these brave Russian citizens deserve medals. I suspect Russian
President Putin and the members of the Duma will agree.

I understand we were planning on using BZ gas in the scuttled raid to free the U.S. Embassy hostaged in Iran.

I have heard bad things about after effects long after wearing off, and understand it even takes a real long time to do that.

If they now have better non-lethal disabling agents out there that can replace BZ, that would likely be a good thing.

Nag gas...

Man ... I could go places with this. But, as they say, discresion is the better part of valor.

Nope, you're wrong. Who's been sued for Waco? Only similar suit that was successful was Randy Weaver's and that cost him a wife, son and a dog. And Lon Horiuchi's STILL not on death row where he belongs.

The theory du jour is that the gas was some kind of opiate.
