I'm suspicious of the accuracy of this report. I just can'r wrap my mind around a MARINE seeing this and not taking them out!
Could have been too far away. Plus which, an ill wind would probably blow the bad stuff toward our guys if the barrel got ruptured. Finally, who says they didn't get taken out?
This was reported by one of the embeds on FNC last night. All he could say was that they had seen Iraqis in chem suits handling drums. When asked for more info he said that was all he could give. He said that they had evidence. The whole time his voice sounded like the cat that swallowed the canary. Speculation: They got some Iraqis (Alive/dead) and some chemicals... we will know more later.
