MSNBC | 3/2203 | Bob Arnot

[Steven W.]

Breaking: Bob Arnot of NBC News reports coalition forces have captured an Iraqi soldier who was found to have an envelope with a suspicious powder, presumably anthrax, and instructions on how to kill coalition soldiers using it. Arnot is stationed with the medivac units supporting coalition forces.

Who is that woman wearing pink,grey and brown jacket, I getting sick looking at it?

I don't know exactly, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with her hair color.

[conservativejuniorandproudofit]

I wonder if those librals are still saying we cant prove that Saddamn is behind terrisiom.

[Nita Nuprez]

If this information is considered as sensitive as I suspect it is, there could well be people trying to get this thread pulled through flame wars.

Great point.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I agree with you. I despise the media, but let's get those jackos working with us for a change. They'll witness and report a whole lot of things that will have the liberals absolutely panicking. A successful war in Iraq that proves Bush right will absolutely kill the libs' political agenda(s).

"Gotta love that Blixter guy, he was right all along."

Yeah, for a guy who is still trying to define the word 'is', LOL.

You are right! This was Bob Arnot reporting live from the field via video phone. He is with a helo outfit that is conducting various missions including medical response and evac. He usually reports in whenever they return to the base.

Instructions contained directions for troops to change to civilian clothing and then approach coalition forces with their supplied WMD.

I wonder if they were told that by all international conventions this made them subject to immediate execution?
Nobody can be that dumb.

I addressed my message to "all" - several repeats. Have to leave this thread - waste of time - it's a shame too because it's an important story.

[concerned about politics]

Frankly, I don't care about the opinions of the "international community". The fair minded will recognize the truth, the America haters wouldn't be convinced if the truth came to them inscribed on stone tablets (Oh wait, that's already been done).

LOL. So true!

An ass map would have been much more preferable.

Who is that woman wearing pink,grey and brown jacket, I getting sick looking at it?

Yeah, she looks like Neapolitan ice cream.

What's worse we are in a losing paradigm with them. It is like gun control, when they lose it don't mean nuthin', when we lose a battle it is a real loss. We need to do something to really change the paradigm, but I ain't smart enuff to figure out what. It ain't that I am exactly dumb. I was smart enough to get into Med School and graduate, but the global reality we find ourselves in is tuff. I just can't figure out how we can shift the paradigm on them so that when they lose one it is a real loss, but I guess ultimately it comes down to good vs. evil and those of us with faith know when that battle will fianlly be won...

For weeks now, it's been apparent that part of the reason for Turkey's intransigence has been the meddling of Chirac.

EU membership has been a powerful draw on the basis of prior favorable treatment of new entrants. There are a number of downsides apparently unconsidered by many of the aspiring entrants. First is the bureaucratic hegemony to be exercised from Brussels. Second is that there are so many economically marginal new members that would dilute any funds available for aid. Third is that most of the industrialized socialist countries are now in financial trouble and waffling on the budgetary requirements pursuant to the Maastricht agreement.

In short, the advantages of joining the EU are not what they were and Brussels would surely screw 'Islamic darkies' at the first opportunity.

Has anyone considered that Chirac could actually go so far as to ask that Turkish troops going into northern Iraq to deal with Kurds also be on the lookout for evidence they can seize or destroy?

Of course. This looks to me like a global war (or should I say, 'globalist war? ;-): the dollar and American hegemony against the euro and elite fascist global governance through the UN. Look for nastiness in Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Brazil, Taiwan, the Phillipines, ALL of southern Africa, perhaps Egypt... what will the Chinese do then?

The jury is out on whether we will survive it intact.

"I wonder if they were told that by all international conventions this made them subject to immediate execution?"

Probably not, but they already knew that not doing it had such implications.

[Carry_Okie]

Besides, if this report is true, that envelope will have come from a very much larger source. When that is found, the skeptics, naysayers and conspiracy theorists will have just too hard a time explaining that away.

I anticipated that.

Frankly, I don't care about the opinions of the "international community".

To paraphrase Zappa, they're busy snorting detergent and plooooking eachother.

That is Victoria Clark (Tory)..she is Rumsfeld's "right hand".

All you people arguing about the link to MSNBC: STFU ALREADY! The guy heard the report on MSNBC, then just linked to the MSNBC site. Not the right thing to do, but for Christ's sake, it's not a conspiracy! He's not trying to make up the story. He just linked to web site of the network that issued the report on the air. Give it a rest already, dammit. Man, if our troops in Iraq fought among themselves like what I'm seeing here, the Iraqis would pick them off at their convenience.

Thanks for the ping - I just got online and saw this. I wish that the anally retentive ones in here would quit arguing about minutae and wasting bandwidth.
