Excerpt -

GAZA, June 29 (Reuters) - A spokesman for gunmen in the Gaza Strip said they had fired a rocket tipped with a chemical warhead at Israel early on Thursday.

The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the claim by the spokesman from the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement.

Saber rattling, I'll bet. Hamas knows it's in deep doo-doo.

What makes this all interesting is the fact that the Palestinians announced two days ago that they were going to use WMD.

Gaza should make a nice parking lot.

Please be reasonable. What good is a parking lot without an American capitalist mall? Or at least a few nice hotels. I would hate to see real estate that is not utilized properly.

"Also, some man named Aaron in Israel said that a LOT of Israelis have been kidnapped...not just the two we have heard about." Where are you getting this info from? This could be big news

Yes, they did announce that. I agree w/you that Iran is up to this to their red-streaked crazy eyeballs. They want this war and they want it bad.

Interesting. I had always assumed that mustard gas had immediate symptoms.

Okay, I lower my assessment to the opinion that there's a 99.9% chance the attack never happened, which can be raised to 100% within a few minutes.

I agree - I think it's propaganda for their gullible would-be jihadis. They feel pretty safe doing it, because they have seen that nobody takes the "WMD" threat very seriously anyway. It's all a word game. Thanks, Dems.

Hopefully all bluff and is really a bottle rocket filled with draino. If not... well things are going to be interesting real soon.

Yup, they (or Syria or Iran or both) wanted someone to hear that for some reason.

I think the plan is to start a theater wide war, at the expense of the Palestinians. The grand poobah of Iran really thinks he can bring the Mahdi if he stirs up enough stink. WMD and nuclear war ought to do it.

I missed his show last night...I guess because I have to go online to get his show, I forget about it.

Silly me...I keep expecting one of the 3 24 hour cable channels to cover this more extensively.

Yes and the family was on the national news today. They said Moore lied to their son and told him that this was going to be a Discovery Channel Show on the Marines and the like. Family said that their son didn't like Moore and was always upset that he was lied to. Go figure. Moore is slime.

Yup, and the Dems will take turns in front of the cameras poo pooing WMD again and how Israel "over-reacted". Nothing to see here, move along.
