LOL how did that happen...I responded to wrong post obviously...er..nevermind...(damn beavers).

[Registered]

Senator Kyle mentioned this on Fox News, and I thought to myself, really, how long does it take to determine if this thing is a bioweapons lab or not? I mean does it look like a Volkswagon bus or something?

We can't blame beavers for trains that hydroplane.

I've got a lot of relatives in Southwest Virginia, and we're familiar with mobile labs with fermenters.

...equipment found on the truck included a fermenter

Maybe it was a mobile Moonshine Still?

[blanknoone]

Not that I would know ANYTHING about moonshining, but the mash is fermented outside the still, typically for a few days, then the mash with low level alcohol (typically ~10%) is put in the still to be distilled into almost pure alcohol.
Point: fermenter is not a still. Anything can be a fermenter...

From a January 4, 2003 AP story:

A team of experts in various weapons fields drove from Baghdad to Mosul 250 miles north in a convoy of white U.N. vans. The inspectors have visited sites near the city before, but they've then had to return samples and equipment to Baghdad.

The new base "will serve as a convenient location to conduct inspections, particularly in the north," U.N. spokesman Hiro Ueki said before the team left for Mosul early Saturday.

The eight U.N. vans, followed by an ambulance, arrived in Mosul mid-afternoon, and the arms inspectors raised the blue U.N. flag over the Nineveh Palace Hotel, their temporary headquarters until their new base is completed.

What better place to hide a mobile lab than right under UNMOVIC's nose?

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

I'm aware of that. What's the point?

Sit up higher in your chair so the point doesn't sail so far over your head. Reread what you wrote earlier.

P.S. I did multiple title searches and came up with nothing.

An appropriate comment would have been "This is The Washington Post version of the story that Bill Gertz wrote about four days ago in The Washington Times.", instead of claiming that nothing came up in your "multiple title searches". Understand now or do I need to post a picture, too ?

It's not the same article, nor the same story, Einstein. Too bad you don't pay a little more attention to content instead of thinking up your next flippant comment. Semper Smart*ss!

[Stand Watch Listen]

Don't worry...you're in good company. His general meaness, stalking has caused me to cut my postings waaaaay back. Tired of these over-the-hill armchair commandos giving the FR forum a reputation as a forum for meaness and utter lack of civility.

[Coop]

Don't let a few bad apples run you off, Partner. I always look forward to your very interesting posts.

I'm still wondering what happened to the three mystery cargo ships? I wonder why we haven't stopped them and boarded them yet?

[Coop]

Well, I'm not really sure there's much truth to that, honestly. If our folks really thought there was WMD floating around out there, we'd find a way to intercept and board. And if the report was true, I imagine the cargo was long ago transferred.
