Reverse Osmosis (RO) is highly effective at removing impurities from drinking water. Mustard agents work by reacting with the water in your respriatory system to form Hydrochloric Acid and the resulting injuries prevent Oxygen from reaching your blood stream. Placing Mustard agents in water to poison troops would be totally ineffective as it has to be delivered airborne. Cyanide is a highly effective poison delivered orally but is totally removed by RO. If this was an effort to poison Marines it was planned by Abbott & Costello.

I think that's about as much as the doctor on MSNBC was saying too...so we can't rule out that it was an attempt to poison the waters by a bunch of idiots rather than a coordinated attack. Or it was just a dumping of the incriminating evidence coincidentally moments before the Marine osmosis team showed up.

I think they were dumping it, so as not to get caught with it. If this is true, expect a huge fish kill.
