Tapes showing gassing of dogs shed new light on al-Qaeda

Another shows the testing of a poison gas on three dogs.

This begs the questions:

1. What kind of gas was it?

2. Where did he get it?

[PoorMuttly]

I take this personally.

There will be silence from the PETA crowd and the Euro lefties.

God forbid the Taliban were removed from power.

One scene shows bin Laden with his security detail firing shots into the air as they get set to announce their new jihad against Americans in 1998, CNN said. Another shows the testing of a poison gas on three dogs.

Your last post to me said that al Qaeda had been warning of attacks for only a year?

Islamofascists call us dogs routinely.

Iraq Urges Saudis To Strike US Interests
Xinhua General Overseas News Service
FEBRUARY 9, 1991, SATURDAY
London--

Iraq has called on the Saudi people to strike at U.S. interests in the Kingdom, Iraqi radio said in an address to the Saudi people late Friday. 'How long will you keep silent while the dogs of infidelity are gnawing at your flesh?' the radio address, monitored by the BBC, said. The address said that now is the time 'for revolution and Jihad (holy war). Therefore, revolt and struggle, strike U.S. interests, wherever they may be.' the Iraqi radio urged Saudis to 'kill those who betrayed you and desecrated the holy shrines of the Arabs and Moslems. Rise up for the sake of your dignity.'

This begs the questions:

No it doesn't.

"Begging the question" is a logical fallacy that is often mistaken for what you think it means.

Begging the question is the fallacy of petitio principii, which is essentially the fallacy of circular reasoning.

LOL!!! i guess it could have been worse.

you could have been called an infideau.

:-} Begging your pardon but I am slightly more interested in the answers to my questions than your reply. Could you tell me whether it was VX, GB or GD?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Could be Chlorine, Mustard gas, hydrigran Cyanide, etc, etc.

Don't be to quick to assume they need to be very high tech to kill unsuspecting Americans.

(Wonder what Boston would think if Amherst (sp?) was the target?)

[jwalsh07]

Don't be to quick to assume they need to be very high tech to kill unsuspecting Americans.

Oh, I'm not believe me.

My guess, if its low tech, is hydrogen Cyanide. After all, it works on rats, why not dogs and humans?

[Kermit]

Go amphibian. I'm glad I did. It's easier to be green.;^)

[Vidalia]

THIS is the best CNN can do, with all their expertise and agenda driven agents over there?

They show animals being gassed or whatever, not people.

This is an animal rights connection with CNN vomitus editors, pure and simple, since the dogs are more important than the women and children who have been used as guinea pigs or have been slowly dying from the exposure to the gasses...

Sorry...I can't help you...it's just my life's purpose to try and get people to stop misusing the "begging the question" moniker.

It may seem trivial, but you'd be surprised how many idiots on the left spout circular logic. My favorite is "If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child". (hint...to understand why that's begging the question, note you have to equate child and choice before that statement seems to resonate with truthfulness). Another one that I'll leave as an exercise for the reader is to explain why "Judge not, lest ye be judged" doesn't mean simply that one should not judge other people.

Well, next time I use it you can assume that I'm using it literally and not as a logical fallacy. Then, we'll both be happy campers.

Another reason why Al-Qaeda needs to be vanquished. I am a dog owner and I felt the need to comment here.

After we vanquish Al-Qaeda someone told me about another radical Islamic extremist group:

http://www.al-fatiha.net/

Don't ask where he found this, but these could be the next bad thing to Al-Qaeda.

Grrrrr....the point is don't use it. It doesn't mean what you think it means. Freepers can do better :-)

[jwalsh07]

Grrrrr....the point is don't use it.

OK, now you've done it. I'll be using it at every opportunity.
