Is THIS the WMD you were waiting for?

[MrBishop]

Sarin has a very short shelf life ,maybe 5-7 years ,and Iraq was never able to use refined base components so when they did have it the shelf life was under two years.A stockpile of Sarin could hardly be considered a WMD as its completely useless except as a projectile.

...and a projectile in the hands of someone(s) who can barely get it out of their own borders with little or no chance of hitting a specific target, means that it's a useless poison. The Scud missiles weren't all that good at hitting their targets and their range was pitiful...the mortars that the Iraqis had were fairly short range and couldn't be of any use except in 'direct contact' with the enemy...either invasive or defensive. Iraq was not ready to invade, nor would it have been for years to come. They couldn't bring the shells into effect during the invasion either...too little, too late.

So..either they hid them somewhere to 'fight another day' or they were destroyed in bombing runs, or..they weren't there in any real numbers.

History will tell the tale, me thinks

Which the fucker swore he didn't have.

You're right Catocom. Can't even argue with this.

I didn't say I "can't"
I said I won't.

ENOUGH!!!

They had them. We've found them, over & over & over. Today one explodes while being decommissioned & you still say they don't have them. I don't give a rats ass if the motherfucker was pulled out of a rusty cannon at the dump. It's only one of many & I'm sick of showing you people the light to have you simply flip the switch & say it's still dark.

The overturning of saddam husseins Iraq was successful & it was the right thing to do. If you don't agree...well damn.

Are we so desperate to find WMDs that we want to pin it on a shell dated from the Iran-Iraq war? One that has a short shelf life and no means of dispersal? WTF? Nice try, enjoy grasping at the straws.

Yes I am, how did you ever guess?

Is THIS the WMD you were waiting for?

Yes. I was almost sure something like that would appear by the time it did... In fact I said it would...

* Ponders the coincidence of this 'thing' showing up right after Rumsfeld arrives there to diffuse the Abu Ghraib thing....

 

[Gonz]

As SoD Rumsfeld arrived at Baghdad Int'l, Paul Bremer asked, as he noticed the bulge in Donalds suitcase, is that a munition or are you glad to see me?

Well ever since GWB flew those planes into the WTC
Everyone on the right has been working overtime

are bad guys Yup

Wonder what is next after cutting a guys head off
what will the President do next?

A short math lesson...

1. Sarin has a 'shelf life' of 5 years.
2. The Sarin mixture in the shell was still active.
3. How long was that shell in existence?
