Golly gee. A shell with sarin gas was found in Iraq- it didn't explode, but some were poisoned slightly when the chemicals mixed to form the deadly gas. Hussein promised all chemical weapons and the chemicals used in them were destroyed. After 17 resolutions, sanctions, 12 years...it's now clear (as it always was!) that he never lived up to the demands of the international community.
I wonder how liberals and peace hippies will spin these developments. The stockpile that most likely got shipped off to Syria before the start of the war will pop up again (the recent Jordanian terrorist plot included lots of chem weapons that almost surely came from Iraq), and it will most definitely fall into the hands of terrorists eventually. When these chemical attacks kill tens of thousands in the U.S., I wonder what the peace hippies will say then? Will they still bash the Bush administration, likening him to Hitler? Will they still claim that there was this big war for oil? I doubt it. True to form, they'll probably spin this in a manner that blames Bush for not doing enough to make sure Hussein had no WMD.
And, on another note...
It's pansies like these that take the joy out of life sometimes.

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. They urge NBC to pick up two series that include asian actors- these series might be terrible, but hey- they have some asian guy, so bring it on! They want to ban the show Bonzai, which I think is horrible, but they say it stereotypes asians. Get over it! Asians are IN IT! They CHOSE to be in it! They demand apologizes, "sensitivity training" (a big fucking joke!), etc. for details magazine staff members because of a column they did.
One of the NBC shows they want picked up (simply because it has asian characters as good guy characters is Hawaii. Some cop show set in...you guessed it, Hawaii. They mention one cast member Aya Sumika (clearly asian!), yet this girl's work includes a show called Pieces of Ass where she does some speaking thing with another girl who talks about the white male's "obsession with colored pussy" and how it's now "acceptable to dip your finger in the chocolate." Great asian role model, I'd say! It wasn't the asian girl who said the lines above, as I pointed out, but she's part of the same "skit," and in the same vulgar show- so it's just as bad. This asian media watchdog group seems to be a little confused.
These people are a bunch of whinebags who have too much time on their hands. People like this make me sick, because they demand everything be the way they say it should be, and if it's not- be ready for complaints, demands for punishment, apologies, etc.

US military officals are trying to determine where the chemicle came from. Some leads have them pointed towards Syria.
So far, no mention of it being part of Saddams illegal arsenal have been offically made.

-I am guessing the same way you war mongers spin the fact that none have been found yet with the excuse that they were "most likely shipped off th Syria before the start of the war...
Posted by: HOODLUMinc at May 19, 2004 04:59 PMThat was funny. You say that leads point to Syria, then you go on to talk about "war mongers" who "spin" by saying they were shipped off to Syria. Thanks for helping prove my point!
Again, as I have said numerous time...every nation, except for Iraq itself, agreed that Hussein still had illegal WMD, and had not complied with the 17 UN resolutions. So, don't talk about "war mongers spinning" things unless you want to say the same thing about every nation on the UN security council, and most every other nation outside of the council as well. Plus, blix and company, who agreed- he had not fully complied.
And- since we know that the 12 yrs of doing nothing wasn't working- and that has been your, and many others, only solution...it's fairly stupid to talk about it at all.

-As I recall, "every nation" did not agree Saddam had WMD, but rather agreed weapons inspectors should be sent in.
[That was funny. You say that leads point to Syria, then you go on to talk about "war mongers" who "spin" by saying they were shipped off to Syria. Thanks for helping prove my point!]
-I fail to see how. No speculation has been made that the weapon was part of the illegal arsenol, but rather a misture produced in Syria itself.
Iran was also another possibility speculated.
[So, don't talk about "war mongers spinning" things unless you want to say the same thing about every nation on the UN security council, and most every other nation outside of the council as well.]
-I guess the door swings both ways.
[Plus, blix and company, who agreed- he had not fully complied.]
-No, he said Iraq was not complying to the best of their ability, and had asked for more time. He was the specialist on the situation. Not Bush.
[And- since we know that the 12 yrs of doing nothing wasn't working- and that has been your, and many others, only solution...it's fairly stupid to talk about it at all.]
-I don't believe what the UN was doing for the past 12 years was the proper solution.
The UN sanctions hurt and killed more innocent civilians during the time frame than Saddam did.
Posted by: HOODLUMinc at May 20, 2004 08:11 AMAlso, im not sure if your sources mentioned this, but the round had no markings.
Regular IED rounds have usually a red or yellow band around the warhead. This weapon had no such markings which means either:
a) The round was mixed elsewhere using a conventional Iraqi HE shell, or..
b) The shell came from outside the country.
All Iraqi IED munitions had their respective markings on them and were destroyed.
There is also the posibility that this shell (and perhaps other like it) were overlooked as conventional warheads during the time of destruction because of lack of markings, or the markings were intentionally taken off.
As I said, it's all just speculation.
