Nerve Gas Scare at U.N. Headquarters

Well if they couldn’t find it in Iraq how are we suppose to believe they found it in their own building.

I think you meant to ask the opposite question:

If they couldn't find them in their own building, how could we expect them to find them in Iraq?

Careful, some poster named Buffalo Head is sending FReep mails to those with a sense of dark humor. See below sent to me a few minutes ago based on the duplicate thread now locked by the admin/mods.

How do you think that your inane post helps the purpose of this forum?

It’s official- It’s a FOX NEWS ALERT now...

[sageb1]

What the heck is going on with this thread? This is on FOX right now.

Yeah, I’d say they’ve got a lot of nerve at the UN...but they also have gas too? Typical...

I’d make a joke in the poorest of tastes, but Marxocrats and the dinosaur media are in overdrive trawling for “proof” that FR is a hate site.

“It works by combining with water in your lungs and forming hydrochloric acid which damages lung tissue.”

Kind of like the gas chamber?

"Well if they couldn’t find it in Iraq how are we suppose to believe they found it in their own building."

Phosgene was found in Iraq. The UN allowed Iraq to import phosgene as a dual use item, along with hydrogen cyanide and sodium cyanide. Kind of made the inspections useless if you ask me.

The UN has a GRL (Goods Review List) for Iraq on their website that lists all the stuff Iraq was allowed to have.

“Phosgene isn’t a nerve gas. It works by combining with water in your lungs and forming hydrochloric acid which damages lung tissue. It does not work on neurotransmitter chemicals.”

Doesn’t really matter. The UN lost their nerve years ago.

Was this found in a closet in Koffi’s old office?

The one he had the black box in, the black box from the plane crash that killed an opponent of his.

I wonder what else is stored in the UN building?

It was found in 1996 in Iraq. I thought Saddam had no WMD after the first gulf war? CNN is spinning now.

keeping book on how long before some tool says “But it is only a few vials, no real danger was present”.

[TChris]

Phosgene isn't a nerve gas. It works by combining with water in your lungs and forming hydrochloric acid which damages lung tissue. It does not work on neurotransmitter chemicals.

Aww... Let the poor journalist have his fun. "Nerve Gas" just has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Journalism is all about entertainment and shock value, after all. Never let it be said that accuracy stood in the way of a good journalistic fiction!

REPEAT*: Maybe the UN is starting its own semiconductor fab?

Nerve gas at the UN Headquarters?

Sounds like a good start...

CNN is claiming no big deal, it was just left lying around. I have not heard of this type of nerve gas in Iraq’s possession. This is huge!

It turned out to be flatulence, as it was discovered that Senator Ted Kennedy was in the building.
