Bart, you do know what happens when you mix an acid and a base?

Yes ma'am.

Boom!... Splat...

[cmsgop]

The sources said they did not know the cause of the blast.

SEAL TEAM!

Scud?

Nothin special. Well equipped boat yard could build one from plans, no problem. Maybe even make it more accurate than the Muslim version ... which wouldn't be hard.

These are the mobile launched ones right, on the back of the tractor-trailer.....and they have to be fueled, cause they're liquid fuel, right, and the guidance has to be programmed..and where are they gonna hide em in Syria..

Western diplomatic sources said a factory in a huge Syrian weapons complex exploded, killing many of the technicians... "It could have been an explosion of a missile or something that took place during the production or testing of explosives,"
Didn't Syria recently say they're Pro-Arafat or something along these lines?Too bad about their technicians,huh...---And since they test Chemical weapons too,I say "This is a Positive Act".Just one question,if this happened 10 days ago,Why haven't we used our "Ikonos Satellite" to take Pics of the area yet?

We don't know that we haven't. I have a feeling that our government doesn't tell us everything, but I could be wrong on that.

Boomp...

Although vast areas of Syria, viewed from the air, resemble Kitty Litter with suspicious green clumps, it's a big place. It even has Mountains, Canyons, Arroyos, Valleys, and incredible as it may seem, some large forested areas. (Think East of San Bernadino) So hiding these clunkermissiles and their 1948 REO Flatbed Launchers for an attack on the Holy Land wouldn't be at all difficult, especially for the first two or three launches. Understand they take about an hour-and-half to set up and fuel ... then it's Shoot'n'Scoot.

We have educated enough of these fellows so that while they may not have an honest-to-god nuclear boom-boom, they sure might make a bomb dirty enough to cause a city a problem, if they could hit it, which they might.

We oughta find where they store and station these things and dispatch them before they cause a problem.
