NBC NEWS: CHEMICAL ALI KILLED IN IRAQ RAID

NBC NEWS | 4-5-2003 | NBC

[SHKMAN1212]

NBC News is reporting that F-16s dropped two precision-guided bombs on the residence of "Chemical" Ali just south of Basra. The Pentagon is telling them that they believe Ali was in his home at the time and was killed during the strike. They caution that they need to have confirmation on the ground to be sure, but it sounds like a good hit!

We've isolated over 14 distinct elemental chemicals in his current globule-stain body form! Paging Hans Blix! Our tests indicate that 75% Ali's body is comprised of Uranium, Plutonium, Radium and his cells are bathed in Heavy Water.

OK, don't panic folks, but this is a WMD alert, put on the suits, this may be dangerous:

Early results indicate that he may have smoked tobacco.

Ethnic Genocide is one thing, but could he be any more evil?

Save the minister of disinformation for SNL skits.

They said a few minutes ago that Special Forces were watching the house. The first 500lb bomb went a bit short, a bunch of people started trying to get out, then two more 500 lb bombs fell cleaning up the rest in the area.

In a way, I guess we should be grateful for comments like yours. They represent proof positive that this is not a "religious crusade."

Thinking Christians would never say such things.

Here is an audio clip of Jim Miklaszewski's report on this story. (.WAV file 371k)

"We" as in "government spokesmen" aren't announcing anything.

Every false lead, every overplayed rumor is a media construct.

Don't ascribe to the Pentagon or White House some disinformation campaign that does not exist.

They confirm NOTHING. Ever.

that worked once with the Aziz story before the war, they won't make the same mistake again.

You would think that he would have known his house was a target?? Doesn't make sense that he would have his family there either.

He should have left home!

"A hit! A palpable hit!"

(Apologies to Shakespeare for quoting him out of context.)

"It would be nice if he'd had time to realize the missles were coming to take him to hell, but still, excellent news!"

Maybe for a split second. By the time you hear the shriek it is too late to run.

"knock, knock"

"Who's there?"

"Landshark."

[oceanview]

But they leak, unless you are suggesting that NBC fabricated this story out of total thin air? They did not, someone in a position to "know" (or leak disinformation) told them.

I am hoping that we are only saying he is dead. Instead, I hope we are "encouraging" him to give us good intelligence.

Sorry, I have become rather intolerant of murderers since 9/11. If my anger causes me to speak things I dont really mean, so be it. As for the wife, she enabled him. In my earlier post, I backed off the kids. Perhaps now we should address your standard of what athinking Christian should say......

I cant stand people who think they are "more Christian" or "more righteous" or more "cleaner living". If you condone mass murder and those who enable and encourage it, thats fine. But dont tell me Im less a Christian than you, because I dont.

[oceanview]

well, that could be it. maybe we captured him, put him in the "witness protection" program, told him that if he cooperates we will stage his death and give him a new identity someplace where he can spend all that money.

[ArneFufkin]

Some ninja guys drove up in the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol Van and knocked on the front door.

Who wouldn't open that door? They killed him where he stood.

No Special Ops guys went near, it was a team from PCH that mowed him down. Apparently Ali mailed a sweepstakes entry form in every month, and never once ordered a magazine.
