One U.S. soldier said last night that before he was deployed to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom, it had bothered him deeply to see "all those actors in Hollywood" speaking out against the war.
"Now that we're finding all these chemicals over here, we can go and shove it in their face," the soldier said. Right 0n!

So... does that mean the U.S. soldiers will now be shoving the Iraqi chemical weapons in the faces of anti-American celebrities??...
Well, one can imagine.

"Now that we're finding all these chemicals over here, we can go and shove it in their face," the soldier said.Why not just dunk them in the barrels?

What happens if these things are mixed in higher concentrations, or together?

My advice to the GOP:
Declare victory over Iraq, declare the discovery of WMD, declare the discovery of Al Qaeda links.
AND BE DONE WITH IT
Asking, and waiting, for 'Rat/France/UN approval and confirmation is a fool's game.
Refuse to even discuss the question in the future.
The 'Rats will do a Florida 2000, and will be emboldened by GOP pious wimps who give voice to 'Rats inevitable doubts.

Ah, at last-- a genuine find? I hope so. The nattering nabobs can be silenced at last-- until they think of something else.
To: GailA
</font> How did you do that?
To: kattracks
Interesting that some of these pesticides test positive in the field for nerve gas agents. What that means to me is if you pop one of these against an advancing enemy, they are forced to wear protective gear, but you, knowing they are non-lethal, have more freedom of movement.

I've been wondering if there are "drums within drums", like a smaller drum of nerve agent sunk into larger drums of pesticide to hide the real agent. I hope they're taking a look further down in the drums.....

Drums within drums. An obvious ploy when you think about it. Do you suppose that in twelve years of running and hiding from UN inspectors, no one in Iraq ever thought of this?

I think they just MIXED the toxins in with known PESTICIDES to where they could not be analized, thats why we find so many drums of bug poison in a desert wasteland.
To: redlipstick
"We've confirmed that we have a cyclo-sarin agent also known as CF," said Lt. Valerie Phipps, a chemical and biological weapons specialist with a reconnaissance element of the Army's 4th Infantry Division.
Tests of the fluid inside one drum, conducted by soldiers using field equipment including kits with chemical test paper, "also detected mustard [agent], and we detected another unknown agent," Lt. Phipps said.

I'm not a chemist, but I know that there is very little difference between a pesticide and a nerve agent from reading post on FR. What's to say they don't store different chems at different sites that by themselves are not a WMD...BUT when brought together and mixed in the proper way DO create a WMD..didn't any one ever think of that?
Look at wine and vinegar as an example. Doesn't take much fiddling with and wine will become a vinegar.
