seems to me these fellas in control haven't exactly been forthright with anyone up until now....but now we're being told a single shell was found that contained traces of sarin gas -- but this time its the truht?!?!? anyone want to bet that, in the interest of "national security", no one is allowed to inspect the shell and it will be destroyed in some remote field.....

2. Yeah, it will wind up at the same place the WTC steel wound up
Far from the prying of bomb scene investigators.

3. Yes.
You are assuming the military is in charge? Interesting. near as I can figure teh military hasn't lied to us yet, and things would be much better off if they actually were in charge.

4. good point
said the Army b/c it was an announcement from the military comander there (or at least that was what I saw)....totally possible that they in fact did find a shell with a little bit of sarin in it, question is who from bushco put it there....

5. Are you kidding me?
Why would we believe anything they say?

I have heard no details on this "sarin shell". I want to know the size, volume, approximate age, and why no one was hurt/killed when it went off.

I suspect, if it really is one, its from the 1980's was manufactured with U.S. components and is a leftover from after the inspections.

Sarin deteriorates I'm told after 5 years, so it is completely fucking meaningless ASSUMING that they actually found it.

6. It was a 155 milimeter shell...
One that possibly whoever set it there did not know it had sarin in it..

It was a binary shell, which has 2 compartments which mix when the shell is fired creating the sarin gas... the 2 did not mix properly the way they had it improvised, that's why only 2 people treated for minor exposure...

It's believed to be left over from the pre 1991 era...

It's quite possible these guys did not even know it was a gas shell they were setting up on the road..... theymay have just found it somewhere or it was given to them... never know...

Heyo

8. It could be not enough about something though.
It just might be possible there was a stockpile of Chemical munitions somewhere, and that Bush was right. If he was though, and this is proof of that, it still works in our favor. See, because we now have, thanks to Bush and company, chemical munitions unaccounted for and in the hands of terrorists. They have caused the very thing they told us they were preventing. I like pointing this out to my Conservative opponents whenever the subject comes up. :evilgrin:
