Freeper exclusive: Weapons cache demolition causes many to be sick from exposure in Baghdad
private e-mails | 11/16/2006 | RaceBannon

Posted on 11/16/2006 4:54:12 PM PST by RaceBannon

I just received a private e-mail from someone I know from a Marine website who has family in Iraq. There has been a weapons cache explosion that caused many, hundreds of people to be exposed to some chemical that was present in the weapons.

Even if people do get sick, it probably wouldn't be as bad as if the weapons were deployed successfully instead of being exploded in a demolition.

he citizens riled up as well, blaming the Americans for "gassing" them.

That's what CNN will report.

Whose weapons cache? Saddams? Insurgents? Ours?

What I have feared is that the Iraqis removd or failed to mark their chemical weapons adequately.

Remember the Sarin and Mustard gas shells 2 years ago?

ANY idiot knows you have to make them spin to mix the chemicals, so, to use them as a roadside bomb almost makes them inert from that perspective.

So, I cna easily imagine that Saddam's people removed the markings from the shells or shell containers that identified these weapons and that people are suing them soon enoug not knowing what is in them.

OR, they did it deliberately.

50/50 chance either way.

Obviously, these hundreds of people are mistaken.

There are no WMD's in Iraq. Just ask the MSM and the democrats

That is her. Thanks. Haven't heard much from her lately. Last time she sounded kind of discouraged.

Prayers up for all these folks. To the naysayers who insisted there were no WMD in Iraq, shame on you.

As of yet, chemical alarms are going off and many tests are being taken.

Please keep us advised. I wonder why the MSM hasn't picked it up at all considering the time delay.

That reads as if they were setup. Someone sneaked a WMD agent shell into the pile that was going to be blown. How else could insurgents be ready to fire mortars and blame it on the Americans. This is not good.
