I don't mean to insult the Marines or anything, but they're a "lean and mean" fighting force with a lot fewer of the specialist troops even the Army has. I'm sure they have people that can test for nuclear materials but I really seriously doubt they have a vastly-experienced highly-educated nuclear exploitation team.

Actually, they do--one of the previous Commandant's initiatives was to grab the NBC event first response mission.

Fox said that Iraq was permitted to have SAM radar trucks under the signed agreement. Just another failure courtesy of the UN.

"Bush as Hitler" is the new theme song of the Liar Left.

Always remember - the LEFT portrays the Good guys as the bad guys because they are expert at accusing the RIGHT of what THEY DO and what THEY ARE.

Hitlery Clinton, for instance, WOULD BRING STALINISM TO AMERICA if she takes power. She WOULD BRING HITLER's NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY-ISM to America were she elected.

How do I know?

Eight years of watching her kill her enemies. (And learning about her doing the same thing in Arkansas for years before that).

Not to mention September 11th.

Not to mention selling/giving the Communist Chinese our top military/technological secrets.

SHE IS AN AVOWED MARXIST COMMUNIST.

Now - let's find out what Bush is.

He is an AVOWED Free Market Capitalist with a Love for Freedom.

I challenge the LYING LEFT to put up a chart of their heroes next to our heroes and let's see about how much suffering, misery, death, and destruction has been wrought at their hands and at the hands of our "heroes".

But, nevermind. They will NEVER be locked in to confronting the truth. THEY ONLY SURVIVE BY LIES because their father is and always has been a LIAR. They can do nothing by LIE because they are BASED IN SATANIC OBEDIENCE TO THE NUMBER ONE LIAR OF ALL TIME. It is just that simple.

Remember - when we call Hillary Hitler - we are called kooks.

That is what we must call them. Leftwing Loonies.

Has anything been confirmed yet?

I haven't heard yet. I've been out of the loop all day fixing a centrifuge, washing cells, splitting cells, making medium and autoclaving it, going to a seminar at which I fell asleep repeatedly.

Agree so much. I've taken to calling them the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy, or sometimes leftwing nuts.

I'm tired of being called a rightwing nut by people who are around the bend.

...weapons grade plutonium...

That is a monumentally stupid statement.

All plutonium is "weapons grade", insofar as the term applies to the relative degree of isotope separation.

Completely different. Arabic is a Semitic language (like Hebrew and Aramaic - the language of Judea at the time of Christ). Farsi is an Indo-European language related to all the languages spoken in Europe (except, I think, Basque) including English.

Many words are shared with Arabic because of religion and proximity to the Arabs, but an Iranian won't understand an Arab in conversation any better than a Swede would understand a Japanese.

The Nuke Org. had capped it however the high radioactive readings may be from recent tampering......

There were recently used tea bags and other evidence of recent (days old-max) occupation of the facility. KABC is clearly wrong.

"Demonstrating two pernicious public school innovations in English. Loose-lose seems to have been cleared up so now there is serious-series and Hugh-huge."

You have only scanned the tip of the iceberg here. You are probably aware of the following, also:
there -- their
your -- you're
its -- it's

The above combinations are used interchangably as though they are equivalent. And one other comes to mind, the use of the word "unique" as though there are degrees of "unique-ness".

Ain't public school grand?

Before coming to Fox, Ms. Vester spent a decade at NBC News, anchoring NBC News at Sunrise, and before that, traveling to global hot spots as a correspondent.

I remember waking early just to watch her on NBC Sunrise. Good Catholic girl who tragically married someone besides Petronski.

Plutonium has not been shown to cause adverse health effects in people. Animal studies have shown lung diseases from short-term exposure to high concentrations of plutonium. Animal studies have also shown effects on the blood, liver, bone, and immune system from plutonium exposure.

This my good friend is in reference to trace levels of plutonium that are in the environement and in your body as we speak (source ASTDR). This is an EPA profile. This is not a comprehensive toxicology profile on plutonium that include biodistributions of absorbed material, toxic effects and LD50 info. Purified weapons grade stuff IS deadly not only from a radiological standpoint but because it is a diffuse heavy metal that is more easily absorbed by the body than mercury. The toxic effects of mercury are only in its vapor phase when the metal ions are bio-available. Mercury is rarely toxic in its liquid phase.

As for this nuclear facility, there were reports that there was another facility located under what the IAEA folks checked out. Perhaps that's where it was.

Yep, it was some underground areas. Some locals took the Marines to some water storage facilities away from this location, but tied to it, which apparently were very 'hot'; they made the detectors go crazy.

"I won't be telling her that my 12 year old daughter, her granddaughter, borrowed Ann's book Slander from me to read.(?!?!?!?!!!) She even brought it to school and read the left's funny quotes to her friends."

Aw, come on, tell her :) :). My 14-year-old read SLANDER too!
