Thanks for the ping. While I was posting my reply #9

You pinged me.

If true, this explains why some Iraqi prisoners had antibiotics for Anthrax, and those 3000 WMD uniforms were seized in the phoney hospital.

[Mister Baredog]

With respect, I think I'll wait for a bit more information. "IF it ain't on Fox, I'm not buyin' it..."

Always good to wait for solid facts even if you hear in on FOX due to the FOG OF WAR

[peeve23]

So....if Fox confirms it, will that change your regard for CBN in the future?

[Connservative]

If true can you say,

UH-OH!

[finnman69]

Not to dis this site, but is it credible?

[rivercat]

You bet this is the worst sandstorm Iraq has seen in a long time. It's a sandstorm full of death and destruction! Kinda brings a new meaning to "Desert Storm"

Don't let this be another dry hole.

I suddenly realized why the french offered to help if we encountered chemical weapons. They knew we would, and now they can come walzing in to participate in the spoils without taking any risks.

If GW lets them.

[Steel Wolf]

A little confirmation would be nice. It seems fairly specific, even down to the apparently cyrillic markings. That having been said, given the overall lousy news coverage performance, I would be more suprised if this turns out to be true.

[John123]

CBN = Christian Broadcasting Network. Dead giveaway, Pat Robertson. I'd wait for confirmation before getting excited about the WMD.

[merrin]

To be honest, Pat Robertson has zero credibility with me.

But the correspondent is embedded with the 3rd ID, so maybe....

[Delbert]

Impossible. If Iraq has chemical weapons, why didn't the UN inspectors find them? <--Because the inspectors couldnt find their Blix with both hands?

[Mike Darancette]

I don't get it, the shells full of agent have Russian markings but they caught an Iraqi guy who mixes the stuff.

[Enterprise]

Said Jeananne Farafalo, "There's no proof that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction. And if U.S. forces find them, there's no proof Saddam Hussein knew about them."

Ignorance is Blix.

Smoking gun, Hans? Also doesn't look good for the Borscht.

[TADSLOS]

Russian trained, no doubt.

[The G Man]

I think we need something a little more reliable before we can consider this "breaking news"

[jwalsh07]

Another uncomfirmed report but with wide reaching ramifications if true.

[Reeses]

This fierce sandstorm may yet be sent from God. Chemical weapons cannot be used when the wind is blowing that strongly. Not only would they not work well but the user would have no control over them.

[southland]

Why not open them in the United Nations for all to see???
