The threat was issued by the “Organization of the Victorious” linked to Abu Musab al Zarqawi. The chemical agent was described as self-produced by the group. The statement was released at the same moment as the Ground Zero ceremony was held in commemoration of the victims of al Qaeda’s attacks on New York and Washington four years ago.
The US military reports 141 terrorists killed in Tal Afar and 211 captured with arms caches since the offensive was launched by thousands of troops at the end of the August. They expect it to be over by Sept. 15
It's DEBKA...it's CRAPOLA.
Deadline ends dawn Monday, but the city has already fallen.
"...The chemical agent was described as self-produced by the group."
Strange caveat to add..they must not want to upset their key supporters: liberal dems. Geez.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Yes, we all pass gas from time to time...
9/11 has almost passed, and not a single incident. - Oh, well, I did see a cop giving a speeder a ticket today, does that count?
"...The chemical agent was described as self-produced by the group."
"No one in here but us chickens," said the Syrians.
I'm thinking it's some kind of deadly gas. Methane.
I wonder why they claim an exclusive, when this has been all over the web for 12 hours?
speak for yourself on the gas thing..lol...Lots of fruit and vegies will clear that right up. (grin)
2) See above.
I just can't buy it unless someone else verifies it.
This would be a good week for the WMDS to be found...the final nail in the liberal coffin...LOL
lol
Sucks being trapped in a city real close to a country that used to be helping your islamosheethead A$$ and has now left you high and dry.
don't discount it totally. remember that story a few weeks back, with photos, of a "chem lab" uncovered by US forces? as always, the story dissapeared.
Per GWBush "Islam is a religion of Peace" just
remember that!
No, he said, "Islam is a religion in pieces."
What I think happened is, prior to Abu Masub al-Zarqawi making that initial Internet posting on their plans to use chemical weapons against our forces in Tal Afar.........he had been watching Blazing Saddles during the cowboy scene at the camp fire, and figure if enough goons could force gas they might be able to set it off with a match or something. At any rate,
as others have mentioned, the main assault in Tal Afar appears to be over, and only goons running for their lives in panty hose and girlie wigs are going to make it out of the city, only to get picked off by roving patrols. There are only those few roads leading into the city for passage. The rest is barren landscape. And underground tunnels are only so long.......
