According to Major Garrett reporting from the Pentagon, a small aircraft - perhaps a Cessna-type aircraft - has crashed near the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. Originated from Iraq & could be one of these crop-duster like drones capable of carrying chemical and/or biological agents.

BUMP! They are in the processing of confirming now. This no doubt makes some of us a little shakey over the safety of our troops, but it also opens up our options for battle quite early if there are Chem/Bio agents on board.
Our leaders may opt for a scorched earth policy prior to sending troops in. We can rebuild later at our liesure and their expense.
Personally, I would lay siege to Bagdad, evacuate the civilians and proceed to burn it to the ground. We can rebuild the future of Iraq on it's ashes and the grave of the tyrant.

He'll be back out soon. He's in the bunker right now. He was broadcasting live a few minutes ago and then went to the bunker.

We now have three threads going on this crash. Excellent catch, all, but suggest we cull the herd.

It's been U.S. policy for decades that if WMD's were used on us, we'd respond in kind. Here's where the rubber meets the road where that's concerned, it looks like.

Ollie is in full chem/bio gear. 3 missiles fired at this base.

I believe the US has stated it would respond with overwhelming force, or words, phrases, concepts to that effect.

Did he? Someone here said the Scuds were just fine. That of course begs the question "WHY would they be considered just fine?" Saddam is a proven lunatic.
Should have gone all the way in 1991 or nuked it.

Blix is a clueless diplomat who was a dupe for SH and his enablers in the UN.
To: EaglesUpForever
No he was to have destroyed his SCUDS after Desert Storm..

That's what I thought... and now I see his spokesman is denying it as well. I guess we need to put some evidence in the face of some media...

I just got up after 5 hrs of sleep, so forgive me if I am repeating the obvious: I just heard (via FNC) an official Iraqi denial that 1) they had no SCUDs and 2) "didn't know why they had been fired" . You are correct, AFAIK: Iraq was denied the possesion of SCUDs.

We've been BLIXED!!!
