Bush promised we would use WMD if the terrorists did.

I bet he won't.

Any takers ??


BUMP

WE DIDN'T KNOW it was a WMD, we just wanted to KILL only a FEW of YOU!!"...

But if a gun fired by accident then we must remove all guns from all people immediately.

I just emailed every show on Fox News and asked them WHY wasn't the story about WMD, just that. The FACT that WMD was found and DETONATED in IRAQ. Period!

NOT the spin that is whether or not the WMD was OLD or NEW. Or NOT whether or NOT the terrorists KNEW it was sarin. SPIN SPIN SPIN is all the news media does.

"A briefing on sarin used against our troops and the reporter asked to switch the topic to Abu Ghraib...
Just when you think the press can't sink any lower..."

Trust me. I never think that the press couldn't sink any lower. In fact, I totally expect them to do so.

Did anyone see the movie "The Rock", with Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris? The weapon of choice in that movie was VX, or Sarin gas.

In the movie, one of the generals was asked about what the casualty rate would be, from 17 missiles armed with VX/Sarin, being released in San Francisco, and he said, "About 60 or 70." One other official said, "That's...that's not so bad." The first guy said "Thousand. 70 THOUSAND....DEAD. One teaspoon of this stuff hits the floor, it's lethal up to a couple of feet. One teaspoon of this s--t hits the atmosphere, will kill every living thing in a one mile radius.

"Get the picture?"

Hmm...sounds like a weapon of MASS destruction to me...(and by the way, if that stuff is lethal in the air, doesn't Iraq have some pretty bad WINDSTORMS??? I know, nothing here, move along...)

Off subject(???), I would like to produce my own advertisement, though I'm sure someone has thought of it...use the clip of John Kerry saying "The threat of terrorism has greatly been exaggerated", and then somehow get the clips from the terrorist acts that have been done since even 2000...the Cole, 9-11 (4 of them), Anthrax, Madrid...

And after every one of those, replay Kerry's clip.

At the end would be "No, Mr. Kerry. Your qualifications to lead this country have been greatly exaggerated."

They probably didn't know it had Sarin. If they had, there's a good shot they would have known that it as basically harmless unless fired out of tube artillery.

They do now.

Maybe a test to see if they work ?

What is the antidote for sarin? All I've read is that the antidote is very effective, but can't find out what it is!

Unitary, or "mixed" SARIN gas warheads have a general shelf life of approx. 6 years..

However, Binary, or containerized seperate component SARIN or VX type warheads can be stored indefinitely..
That is to say, a SARIN binary warhead created in the 1950's would still be good today..

That would be a great ad to use against Kerry.

Of course, he's whine that his patriotism is being challenged.

I would counter it wasn't his patriotism that was being challenged, but rather his manhood and intelligence.

Abu Graib is the Dachau of the 21st century. Bush and his minions want to get the media off of this travisty by making an issue of this so called WMD story. What arrogance!

Fox News Alert:

Two weeks ago a shell with mustard gas found. (per sources at defense)

It is possible it came from a stockpile from as many of 500 that may contain it. (That is what they said, though it wasn't clear they confirmed that there is such stockpile, just that they suspect it? Stay tuned for more solid reporting on this aspect)

Also, I haven't read the latest replies, but this shell with Sarin exploded Saturday and we're just finding out.

Still missing based on the UNSCOM report to the UN Security Council in January 1999,
when the UN inspectors left Iraq in 1998, they had been unable to account for:
That bears repeating, because we just found some.
