Freeper exclusive: Weapons cache demolition causes many to be sick from exposure in Baghdad

I just received a private e-mail from someone I know from a Marine website who has family in Iraq. There has been a weapons cache explosion that caused many, hundreds of people to be exposed to some chemical that was present in the weapons.

Welcome.
I'm also recalling the Mig-25 Foxbat recon version with modern French electronics buried in the sand.
There are also multi-acre size depots that we know of, but cannot get to due to the sheer number of them all.

Just damn!

As a side note, the mushroom cloud doesn't really mean anything as any explosions can cause a mushroom shaped cloud given the right atmospheric conditions.

BTTT post for FReeper watchers who might be able to help out.

Which the Dems were screaming about two or more years ago about 'securing the depots', and blaming the U.S. military for the terrorists getting explosives from same depots.

[Enosh]

Remember the Sarin and Mustard gas shells 2 years ago?

Yes, but that was not news back then. Everyone at the networks were in denial.

What are the symptoms of the suffering? Symptoms would provide a predominant clue to what chemical agent.

BTW, the chemicals are categorized as either blood, nerve, and blister agents.

Enclosed is the e-mail I got with all units blocked out:

Anthrax would take a day or two to appear, something immediate would be a blood or nerve agent or chemical

Can you describe symptoms?

>Go for it. I didn't want to post it here until I heard back from Xxxx's wife for the confirmation. She said that some of the field tests came back positive, but that XXXxx couldn't reveal what agents were present in the air. He said that quite a few of the 5/14 soldiers were very sick, and were medevaced and being treated. With that info, I would assume that it would be anthrax or sarin, and not mustard or another blistering agent. The large number of Iraqi citizens that were very sick is what really makes you think that it was a large quantity of some type of WMD, tho'. Feel free to post this tho', and use the unit as well. Just blot out XXX XXXX XXXX's name for now.

>>>I got a call from a dear friend's wife yesterday morning. My friend, Xxx Xxx Xxxxx, has been in Iraq just south of Baghdad since Aug. He is serving with 5/14 of the US Army's 10th Mountain DIV. They found a huge cache of mortars and arty shells, and when they blew them up, a HUGE MUSHROOM cloud went up, and a sticky substance dissipated all over the area, to include a suburb of Baghdad. Many of XXxxx soldiers got sick, as well as hundreds of Iraqi civilians as well. The insurgents started firing off mortars onto their basecamp, and got the citizens riled up as well, blaming the Americans for "gassing" them. Many tests are being conducted by our NBC folks to determine the gas that was released by the explosions of this cache. XXxxxxx said that the suspected WMD's were buried in a bunker, just beneath the uncovered weapons cache. The detonation of the weapons cache must've accidentally exploded the suspected WMD's as well, thus unleashing the concoction into the air. I'll keep ya' posted on anything his wife tells me. Keep looking for any info on this possible WMD find as well. This could be the beginning of a big find and overwhelming proof of Saddam's WMD arsenal, and it could blow up in the face of the Dems and liberals who have sought to discredit GWB and our mission as well!

I'm guessing that Mookie's breath alone could be considered a toxic chemical with mass destruction potential.

[labette]

Sarin?

May God keep watch over your friend{s}, Race.

[Logical me]

Did you read the post #13? In case here it is part of it:

Can't always cover all the possible. Saddam hid so much, even buried in concrete, we will never find it all until some type of construction or destruction happens.

Prayers up Race.

Not a joke, must read

Nerve agents are often mixed with a sticky carrier to keep them on the skin. Mild doses may take upwards of 18 hours to show symptoms.
