Good times.

Hmmm, would these be considered those pesky WMDs Iraq did not have?

[Viennacon]

“could contain mustard residues which can’t be used for chemical warfare but remain highly toxic.”

Are these people retarded? Anything that is ‘highly toxic’ can be used for chemical warfare.

[Rainier1789]

So in 2003, just before the US invaded with the support of John Kerry, John Edwards, and the Clintons, the UN stated that Bunker 13 contained 2,500 sarin-filled chemical rockets.

Isn’t nerve gas (sarin) a WMD? Doesn’t the anti-war crowd insist there were no WMDs? And why the hell would any Sarin or Tabun still be there 10 years later?

There are no weapons of Mass destruction in Iraq.

Oh I guess they built them while we were there.

Yeah. THat makes sense.

Oh, well, we’re too busy now watching our own country be invaded to pay attention to this creation of a jihad state.

More information on this story, for which I thank you. As I posted in another thread, if ISIS really wanted these sorts of weapons they just stole plenty of money to build them for themselves, which is much easier than attempting to scrounge them from a decade-old toxic waste dump.

The exception is VX. If that's involved all bets are off, but there is nothing in the news stories to suggest that it is. Perhaps no news is good news.

The irony is that after almost exactly a century of familiarity with these weapons, we've discovered their limitations - a force prepared with countermeasures is relatively safe - and their most effective use. That is as a weapon against an unprepared, i.e. civilian, population. That's what they're good for. They're terror weapons, they always were.

Well, now I read through the thread. Oh, and the article.

Well I stand by my point that we’re too busy now with this new happy bo scandal/mess to pay attn. to the nightly news coming out of the ME

It’s not like we have Ted Koppell or anyone to keep us posted and apprised of details on ABC

[Vendome]

Whah?

Iraq ain’t got no weapons of mass destruction. ...

[rawcatslyentist]

>"Iraq said the Islamic State extremist group has taken control of a vast former chemical weapons facility northwest of Baghdad, where 2,500 chemical rockets filled with the deadly nerve agent sarin or their remnants were stored along with other chemical warfare agents."

Amazing!!!! Allah it took was some blood thirsty murder cultists to find the WMDs.

[IC Ken]

Headline should read, “WMD found in Iraq”

[driftless2]

Repeat after me...THERE WERE NEVER ANY WMDS IN IRA. ALL THE KURDISH WOMEN AND CHILDREN FELL OVER DEAD IN 1988 FROM A SEVERE CASE OF GOUT. LEFTISTS HAVE RELIABLY INFORMED US THAT SADDAM NEVER HAD ANY WMDS. AND LEFTISTS NEVER LIE. (smirk)

[CodeToad]

What???!!! They found WMDs????

hehe
