We patiently explained to you that the Dems whining and anti-war attitudes influenced our action and foreign policy, so they can very reasonably can be blamed.

Thanks. Didn't know that.

I don't agree with your logic. Who is to blame for anything then? Somebody did something somewhere...

I don't agree with your logic.

Oh this is terrible. I remember reading a report from someone who said a WMD attack was expected soon in Iraq (I will look for it- ), which caused Baghdad to be locked down to an extraordinary degree. I took it with a grain of salt, but this story is VERY troubling. If someone would do this to their co-religionists, remember they would not hesitate to do it to us infidels. May the suffering get the help they need.

"That's for certain. Food poisoning takes a lot longer to incubate. Typically you will fall ill after the NEXT meal."

48-72 hours, IIRC. My ex was a vet tech for the Air Force, and used to inspect the food in the commissary and dining halls.

huh? but there are no WMDs in Iraq!!! /sarc

You don't have to agree and I don't particularly want to argue.

My main point was that jumping on VRWC with a personal attack was inappropriate and uncalled for. He posted an opinion, which I thought was valid, you didn't. No problem. But you could have said you disagreed and why, instead of resorting to personal insult.

Most of your posts are reasonable, this was out of character for you and it was oriented towards someone who has not attacked you, merely posted his opinion.

Hopefully you do agree that it's a good idea to keep personal insults to a minimum. I can see how it can happen "in the heat of an argument" when you are arguing with someone for a while, but this was just out of the blue, just because someone said something you disagreed with. So can we just drop this, please.

Some of the policemen began bleeding from the ears and nose after the meal...

I have food poisoning before but that would be a first!

Don't know if anyone answered you, yet...but based upon the book "Demon in the Freezer" (Richard Preston) which chronicled the US cases of the weaponized anthrax attacks during 2001, the description of their symptoms and autopsies are totally different.

They had high fever and severe flu symptoms that rapidly progressed over a period of hours.

Did I offend someone?

By following that thought through, nobody is to blame for anything.

There's a whole lotta idiocy swirling around you. Might mean something.

[Hilltop]

My first thought.

[SuzyQue]

Yes.

Pgh, you are the first one to mention this. You are a good person. Most of the rest of us (myself included) were trying to figure out what could have caused such injuries. You have a great outlook.

Well, I would say that calling someone an idiot does tend to offend the recipient of the insult.

That's how it all started.

And?

Blaming dems on US soil for poisoning deaths overseas is idiotic.

No sh!t, Sherlock. Welcome to the party...
