About 20 people (most of the MSNBC audience) have already posted they saw Bob Arnot give the report live. So did I. What is suspect about it? He just said it 10 minutes ago. Do you think he's out there with a link to the Internet to file the story? What a dope. Sit down. The only thing suspect is your acuity. This is a direct ping to myself and you. If this story is discredited, I'll expect your public apology.
Likewise, if this story is proven true, I will tender my public apology to you.
That said, I've lived through enough wars to know that the only thing that flies across the globe faster than a lie is a rumor. I do not believe my skepticism is unwarranted or wrong.

I so hope you are right.
But as many times as the liberals have been proved wrong, they still can't see evil anywhere except in their own leaders and their own countrymen.

Hey, if I was right all the time, I would be insufferable.I agreed with you about WMD blackmail, but whatever made you think that we would have to wait until 2004?

If it is a powder composed of spores, it would not be possible to do gram stain to ID the spore. Only if you plate the organism can you positively ID via microscopy.
I have to think the US military has labs stationed in forward positions.
If not, I volunteer!

?If whatever he was carrying was in an "envelope", then it wasn't anthrax. This is bull. I suspect that if Bob Arnot agreed with you, he would have discounted the story. Bob Arnot is a very well-known medical doctor.

Do you think those instructions tell those poor, stupid soldiers that they too will become ill as they try to spread the anthrax?

I agreed with you about WMD blackmail, but whatever made you think that we would have to wait until 2004?I figured we had a technological fix for the anthrax threat in the works, basically.

If you saw it on TV then why did you post a BS link???
If you heard it on TV , then your post should have stated that.

There isn't an internet link, just many freepers who are watching MSNBC and saw Arnot's report. I saw it myself.
If a link becomes available, I'm sure it will be posted.

Wonder what the FBI is gonna do when this stuff matches up with the stuff that was sent to the Senator's in D.C.?
What if it doesn't? Multiple strains were sent in the letters of 2001, see my #109.
It's still Iraq, no matter how you slice it.
To: LADYAK
Amen.
To: concerned about politics
Yeh. FOX had footage of Iraqi's surrendeing, and they had white papers(?) in their hands. I wondered what they were. I thought maybe they picked up the leaflets dropped by our planes. Scary. On Fox this morning, one of the embedded reporters showed a "conscript card" that each Iraqi soldier had been issued.
The Iraqi soldiers were throwing them away and going home. He said they were finding them on the road.

This Dyson seems like a silly gadfly.
Dyson, you are now the one who's lost credibility. My advice - keep quiet.
To: redlipstick
You should be a democrat. He posted a bogus link to substantiate his post. If he heard it on TV he should have stated that and not have provided a link.

don't be so sure it's sarcasm.. that will probably be one of the talking points of the Democrats if this story does turn out to be true.
