Ahem. Chlorine gas was first used as a chemical warfare agent in WWI on April 22, 1915 at the Second Battle of Ypres. Chlorine gas causes immediate destruction of the subject's respiratory system. Chlorine gas has a couple of deficiencies when used as a weapon: most notably, the gas is visible as a low-lying, greenish cloud. Another weakness is that chlorine gas has an affinity for water molecules, which means that covering your mouth and nose with a damp cloth is a fairly effective filter for the gas

What flavor of kool-aid are you drinking again? Librull-blue with a yellow twist?

So you're saying it can't be used as a WMD even though apparently it HAS been used as a WMD?

Seems to be lots of koolaid drinkers in this thread.

The bannedman does have a point. Although chlorine canisters are not "pool supply" material, they are used at water treatment plants and certain industrial sites. They are relatively easy for a terrorist to get his hands on.

But the issue here is not one of where they got it, but that they used it.

lots of private pools in iraq are there? is the therory that akmeds pool supply just got knocked over?.....or did the pool boy just now decide to go terrorist?

The insurgents have tried to explode not only chlorine, but also propane, with minimal affect to this point. They are searching out targets of opportunity that may have an impact.

This is nothing to worry about in the grand scheme of things.....unless you happen to be within 200 yards of the explosion, which is the greatest danger.

This is just another target of opportunity....no WMD....

Who is the conspiracy theorist around here? Someone take a look at the Beqaa Valley in Syria under about 200 ft of sand and then we will have some WMD to talk about......
