Iraqi troops have been spotted between US and Iraqi battle lines wearing full chemical protection suits and unloading 50 gallon drums from trucks, a US intelligence official has saidThe official said US intelligence does not know what was in the drums, but fear it could be chemicals. Generals have said that the closer invading forces get to Baghdad, the higher the possibility that a cornered regime will launch an attack with chemical weapons or other weapons of mass destruction, which Saddam Hussein has denied he has

If they could get off one accurate shot with a Barrett .50 and open up one of those drums, then just see how scared the RG guys get. If it's just a barrel of petrol then they will only seek cover. If it's nerve gas, they'll run just as far as they can.

The prevailing winds are from the North for the next few days. Popping thiose barrels is not a good idea, unless a nice round or two of rule 308 could be employed when the RG are unloading.

I was going to post a reply with how the liberals would "spin" this but I am not going to give them even the slightest scintilla of inspiration for their demented views.

After all. Liberals do not think for themselves. they depend upon talking points to be distributed. If you hear one liberal say something, then you hear them all say exactly the same thing.

Should Saddam use WMD we can rest assured it will be spun. We have only to think back to the leader of the free world being "serviced" while on the phone with a foreign leader and having its being brought to light as a witch hunt, a vast right wing conspiracy, only about sex, everybody does it and respectful citizens villified in the media to know this will happen.
