AW CRAP!! It just dawned on me...now the French are going to come to our rescue because bio-chem is involved. Darn it, they're going to get underfoot like a couple of hundred retarded cats!

Ba-Dum-Bum! Let me put it this way...We have four cats in the house (had six at one point while boarding a couple for family members) and for some reason these creatures with near-perfect night vision and the ultimate in "catlike reflexes" can't see/hear my 6'4 215lb ass coming and GET OUT OF MY WAY!

Plus, Friday's cat in the Robert heinlein novel was called Mr. Underfoot. I don't think he was French, though...

had two leftists try to tell me that all the Iraqi bio-chem is beyond it's shelf life and no longer dangerous, plus the "mobile labs" have been "debunked."

That was from something pedophile Scott Ridder said.

The anthrax produced for the last war would not have lasted more than a few months (supposedly). There's no reason to believe that chemical weapons, properly stored, would be past their shelf life. Anthrax is a living organism, and will eventually die. The chemicals are not even mixed, in some cases, until ready to launch.

Ritter also talked about the mobile labs. But his theory that they don't exist is no more credible than Powell's theory that they do. It hardly constitutes "debunking".

You make excellent points here.

Ritter also talked about the mobile labs. But his theory that they don't exist is no more credible than Powell's theory that they do. It hardly constitutes "debunking".

True, but if these people cared about facts, researched properly or drew defensible conclusions (any one of the three would do it!) they would not have been (as these two were) in a church having a meeting on how they can buy time for one of the worst mass-murderers in history. The anti-war movement's total disregard for reality is evidenced by the fact that they still listen to Ritter; MoveOn.org even gives one of his "They don't got no more WMDs" quotes a prominent place on their fliers.

It was really hilarious when these two tried to insist that the CIA and British Intel were believable when they said there's no proof Al-Qaida in Iraq, but that they were lying now at the President's behest, but they're assessments from six months ago that Hussein was trying to get fissionable materials--all lies. Uh-huh.

They don't want to. They're cats. It's that simple.

Anthrax spores live for years.

Bravo Sierra, Monsieur Ritter. Anthrax, as a spore, has the ability to lie dormant for years, perhaps decades.

Anthrax is a living organism, and will eventually die.

Actualy one of the reasons Anthrax is the darling of bio labs is that it is an organism that has a spore form. It can stay viable for Fifty years in soil. A bottle of dried anthrax in spore form kept out of sunlight and heat could last for thousands of years. Wheat seeds from Pharohs tomb sprouted, and they are not even a spore.

Being a Leftist is a wonderful thing. You are freed from the chains of facts, logic, and consistency...not to mention morality.

That is so true!

It's a fundamental misunderstanding of cat nature. They want you to stop and dote on them. "Oh kitty! How sweet you are!" Even if you're rushing to catch the telephone. It dates back to the time when the Egyptians treated them as gods. They must still remember.

Dogs on the other hand... "yeah, yeah, master! whadda ya want? yeah, yeah!"

Cats, at least, are not servile.

Hey Sadamn, not very bright. And by the way, it's sunset in 4 hours. We here in Florida hope you enjoy watching the ROCKETS RED GLARE bombing the hell out of your a** from your bunker. And I hope we wasted at least one of your sons in that home you were at last night.

So....if this drone did carry chemical agents - and IF France joins the fight as they said they would.........

If France surrenders to the Iraqis, then the Iraqis surrender to us, would that make the French soldiers our prisoners and by proxy would we conquer France?

Knowing the French and their duplicitous ways, perhaps it was the French who fired the chem drone at us.

Sorry, I must respectfully disagree. I have a dog named Cody B. Underfoot... for obvious reasons.
