Soccer field slash ammo-dump perhaps?
"They're either lying through their stinking teeth, or they're orders of magnitude stupider than I ever imagined."
Their Qassam rockets can't carry much of a payload so even if they used "chemical warheads" they might have no effect unless it was into a very crowded area.
Notice that the Reuters article first stated chemical weapons and then stated biological weapons? I don't think they know what they are talking about.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if it happened!
What happened to the Al-Qeada terrorists put on trial one year ago after they were caught entering Jordan from Syria with 20 tons of Saddam's chemical weapons, including VX nerve gas? I cannot find anything on the outcome of the trial!
link?
not good if that gets confirmed
Thanks for the link. Damn!
Or a completely alien substance like....deodorant.
But these are not the WMD we were looking for.
If they're shooting chemical warheads, the IDF should just flatten them.
I was thinking of calling them idiots, but that would be an insult to idiots. Are the Palis trying to find a way to coax the Israelis into slaughtering them all?!?
"The US news does not report news at night. "
Your post made me bust out laughing! So TRUE!. They only report rehashes of the latest Star Jones debacle or Brad and Angie's daily report of how her labor and delivery went. As if we care. It's NUTS!
Our only hope for real live news out of Israel would be if FOX has someone stationed there to give us the scoop. Even they might be lagging tonight.
Excellent picture... LOL...
Uh, you'd better look at a good map of the area before you ask that question....
Seeing those grey ghosts makes my heart beat faster! THEY ROCK! I don't live too far from Hurlburt Field and GOD BLESS THE SPECIAL FORCES!
"it will end all talk of anything palestinian, except smoldering ruins"
Works for me!
You forgot the latest buzz about Starr Jones leaving 'The View'! Isn't that the most important thing since the beginning of time???
TV is turning me into an anorexic-gag. Time to turn it off.
>>Will it be nukes in retaliation?<<
Can nuke the PA areas - too close. Syria is another question but that's probably still a "no."
Maybe if Syria gets busy with Israel, Iraq will quiet down a bit. Iran sure has been quiet.
