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?

Dear knight, did you miss the word not in my post?

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....

I think that depends on how you define "WMD." 200 yards can do a LOT in a marketplace.

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......

You think they went THAT far? I wouldn't be surprised if they were buried under 200 ft of sand in Iraq.

You're probably right. But isn't the issue that they are terrorists trying to kill as many people as possible? What does it matter that they are brainless slugs who don't know how to do it effectively?

And I think you're right on about Syria, although not that deep and I don't have a clue about the exact location.

Nope....my sources (well placed) have let me know that there are plenty of corroborated accounts of trucks running unencumbered into Syria before the actual start of the US operations.....

Only time will tell...many know I have made this claim before, from NVorg and USMB. I have not misplaced my tin foil fedore, either.

Iraq is relatively clean from WMD, with no doubt that they were present prior to the start of the war. Hillary was right on this one (just to drive the righties a bit crazy)

BTW, this was a tanker full of the chemical which was used (directly or indirectly, I haven't heard yet) as part of a chemical weapon. Chlorine is commonly used in a wide variety of applications, not the least of which is water purification. So the question as to why the tanker was around is pretty much moot IMO.

Now as to the tactical use of this tanker, think in terms of the 9/11 hijackers and the passenger airliners' fuel tanks. Do I need to continue drawing the picture here? Do I even need to say that this is a situation which could easily occur on US soil?

That's a no-brainer. That's why the sudden switheroo on how we got in, remember?

BTW quotes would be nice- I may miss an opportunity to respond.

I don't doubt it a bit. How long did we telegraph our blow? Four-five months?

I couldn't say where they are. You could be right, or I could. Give me something to hide out in the hi-desert in CA, and 4-5 months to do it, and then come find it.

well I don't have sources, but in my reading there was a iraqi general who claimed the russians removed the WMD's before the war. Taking them into syria. From there he had no idea where they went. I also read this in some other articles about the WMD's which had been captured and translated. But all this info suddenly dried up and haven't seen any more on it.

Sounds logical since saddam had the russians in his pocket the whole time.

And the French. I love hearing how we supplied Saddam with all his military shit when they drove Russian tanks, flew French jets, and used French and Russian small arms.

I wonder when we started counterfeiting THEM?
