LOL, if I remember correctly WE invented BZ. Moreover it AIN'T "nerve gas". And I don't think there is an antidote. I suppose Valium would make it a little more tolerable. I would be surprised if it killed people, though.

Of course, Russia has the right to homeland security. And Russia does not answer to our journalists - lucky for them.

It seems the media is more interested in the tactics used by Russian special forces than the tactics used by the Islamist special forces.

Too many Russians are now dead and permanently disabled, a burden on society. It's time for Russia to seek and destroy the families of this Jihadist filth and to raze family dwellings. It's the only language the scum understand. Even send assassination teams abroad to hit the families of the foreign Jihadists. It's an outrage that Arabs are making Jihad on Russian soil.

Oh my goodness ! Doesn't everybody KNOW the kindly, lovable Russian people don't possess any chemical weapons ????

How do I know that ?

The Federation of American Scientists said so.
Repeatedly.
Kept saying so, even when the Russians were using a lethal agent called "Yellow Rain" in Afghanistan.
Kept saying so by their silence when the friendly natives of Uzbekistan proudly displayed the Russian Chemical and Biological warfare labs that had been left behind.

I assume the revelation Russia has vast stockpiles of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons will be blamed upon the Foul Counter-Revolutionaries who took over in kindly, peace-loving, admirable Mother Russia.

After all, the FAS couldn't have been wrong !!!

It's a good thing that we're important issues. Not the fact that this is yet another incident of barbaric Mohammedan violence.

Whatever the press says, the resolution to this crisis was much better than anyone expected. Those of us who were monitoring this situtation all last week expected 80+% casualties.

Those terrorists wanted to make a statement by their deaths. Ironically they did: Don't mess with Spetsnaz.

What do Babs, Harrelson and Baldwin have to say about this? Enquireing minds want to know.

Has anyone else seen the highlighted footage where you can see either a soldier or a medic administering what looks like a an atropine style antidote injector?

Russian Special Forces: 116 Civilians (and counting)
Chechan Rebels: 2 Civilians

Russian Special Forces win.

If most of the people in the audience had been packing, the initial takeover would not have succeeded.
