Actually, not true.
A greater proportion of Roma (Gypsies) were killed by the Nazis than Jews. In fact, laws were already in place that allowed the "disposing" of Gypsies, and they were the first targeted. However, there was a much greater NUMBER of Jews killed.

The consensus thus far appears to be "every one of them".

Its prayer time.

Jam 5:16 Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

2Ki 6:16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that [be] with us [are] more than they that [be] with them.

Brett Baier at the Pentagon is reporting that the coalition troops have stepped up their protection to the highest leve

I heard (saw) one of the reporters report from near Baghdad today state that he had been told to increase his chem defense clothing including special boots that are very hot to wear.

I just saw Rick Levanthal in the desert. He was in his chem suit. You could see the rubber lining. It's almost a 100 degrees out there and those poor guys are in rubber suits.

I have nothing in my life to complain about compared to our brave soldiers in the field.

I hate to say this but chemical weapons are unlikely to kill millions. There are lots of reasons for this, but they won't. this does not mean they won't be used, just that they won't be able to kill the city.

I've heard Saddam quoted as saying he "only needs 5 [out of the 25] million" to continue as a Saddam-ruled country.

Some general information on MOPP (Mission Oriented Protective Posture):

There are four levels. The guys were running around in Level 2 today. There are two more levels - mask & gloves. These suits might vary slightly from the newer ones.

Cheers, CC :)

The talk I have been hearing on Fox is that the Iraqis probably will not be able to disperse chemicals in any organized and widespread manner due to the problems with leadership communicating orders and the risk being greater to them than to us. Our protective equipment is better. Of course, better to be safe than sorry.

I had a friend once tell me years ago not to worry about nuclear war,,this was the height of the cold war. He said they would try to fire the nukes and none but a couple would go off, they would all malfunction. He practically invented the microprocessor and was very smart so that sort of relieved me.

Your friend might want to check into a couple of towns called Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Two attempts and two detonations, and those were barely more than experimental weapons. This genius who invented the microprocessor, did he also invent the internet?
