Don't be so hasty Flav. We'll taste some vx/mustard gas yet. The intelligence has been accurate and i can assure you it'll be put to use. I give it 10 days tops.
My guess is that Saddam is waiting to unleash the chemical weapons until we get close to Baghdad. That was my guess even before the reports of the intelligence that says basically the same thing.
As for the picture... it's nothing short of fucked up. Do we sit here and paint murals paying tribute to events that happen in peacetime where Iraqis die? Do we celebrate the deaths of innocent civilians?
It's pretty hard to make too many assumptions about what the artist had in mind when they made the painting. It would be interesing to knw if there is much more to the mural as it looks like we're not seeing the whole thing.
If indeed it's supposed to depict 9/11 then it's odd that the building is only about 10 stories high and it doesn't depict "twin towers". Although it's possible to attribute to the skill/acuracy of the artist.
Why would it depict an Iraqi passenger plane (presumable full of Iraqi passengers) hitting the building. But who knows, maybe they've never seen a plane without Iraqi markings.
Interesting though. I wonder if there's any other photos of it circulating around.
