Damascus is in modern day Syria.
You know when you've been hit with a chemical weapon because people are dying with no visible wounds.
It didn't happen. We would have heard by now.
Perhaps the terrorists actually made an attempt. Perhaps they are lying.
But we know there was no successful chemical attack.
I thought it would have been soap for bathing.
Right...so maybe different scripture applies here. At least right now.
Did you catch John B.'s show last night? Practically the whole 3 hours were on Israel and it was great. Anytime anything is going on over there, that's who I listen to. He's great on this kind of thing. Also, Israel has captured up to 30 ministers of Hamaas at this time.
This is going to be very bad.
Earlier FoxNews was reporting a few updates on the situation. Before they went to evening programming starting with BOR.
They reported when the first Hamas admin official was taken by the Israeli's and kept saying he and others might be used as 'bargaining chips'.
You'd think after an hour or so there would be some kind of confirmation if this claim had any merit.
Two boys?
That's good and so true!
Damascus as a ruinous heap.
Works for me.
sorry....just one boy.....I was typing too fast...and I never proofread...
It seems they're trying to provoke Israel into an all out offensive against them.
I assume they're trying to get Israel in trouble on the world stage.
Probably doing it on behalf of Iran....who probably is expecting an Israeli air attack on nuke facilities any week now.
Naaaaa not if the Palistinians don't know what they are doing. I realize that if it was a REAL WMD then yes there could be deaths. Depends on where the bomb went off. More likely is they don't know what they are doing. Who knows. I still don't think Israel would announce anything...unless of course there were a lot deaths. That isn't what I meant though.
if it was mustard gas, it can take up to 12 hours for symptoms to appear.

luckily, it's not usually fatal.
Yes, civilians, reporters, and emergency personnel all have cell phones, none of which can be controlled in the face of a real emergency.
We don't need an official denial by the Israelis. You couldn't hide this for an hour if you wanted to.
It never happened.
I agree. Something else is going on with all of this. Iran perhaps? Something doesn't smell right.
Perhaps it's propaghanda to "keep hope alive" amongst the Muzzie masses - those secret weapons are on their way to turn the tide. Fight on all you 14 year old martyrs. We'll stay hide at the mosque and work on the secret weapons.
