When we find more Sarin, we should donate it to those sacred, supposedly untouchable mosques that have turned into insurgent barracks and arms depots. The mosques would not be harmed.
We've both thought the same thing. Why don't they have leading Clerics warn everyone to stay clear of the mosques for a period of say a week, then gas it. That way they kill only those Sadr and those loyal to Sadr?
They could then allow the gas to dissipate and the mosque is unharmed. They get rid of Sadr and his ilk.
Could Sarin be the perfect gas? I've heard it sinks, it dissipates fairly quickly. What harm would be done to a mosque? Does it remain in the area after it is released? Can it be reactivated at a later time?
Anyone?
(I hold no claims to being a WMD or Chemical expert).
Perhaps there is a better gas. But surely there is something!
~OR~ Do they feel this would open a WMD can of worms? One that once opened would start WMD's being used on our troops. Though we would argue that if terrorists could use WMD's or Chemical Agents on our troops, they would in a heart beat.
