Perhaps the most chilling moment for the Marines came the next day, April 2.Go back to #1297 for the link.Before the war began, U.S. planners pinpointed three moments they thought Hussein might resort to weapons of mass destruction: when U.S. forces first crossed the border from Kuwait, when they arrived at Nasiriyah to ford the Euphrates River, and -- most likely -- when they began attacking the Republican Guard and threatening the capital.
That day, military intelligence intercepted a transmission from Baghdad to a senior Iraqi commander believed to have control over chemical weapons. The entire transmission consisted of just one word: "Blood."
