In Freeperville, the chlorine truck bombs proves that Iraq had WMD

[maxrandb]

No shit. I went lurking over there, and they think that the insurgents using a makeshift chlorine bomb proves that their "dear leader", Dubya, has been vindicated.

Sometimes when they bitch about how screwed up our public school system is...I almost start to believe them. Then I realize that despite the best efforts of our dedicated teachers, you just can't fix stupid.

The use of WMDs in Iraq - by the Iranian backed terrorists - should be breaking news on all major networks.

It's not.

That speaks volumes about how complicit much of the MSM is with the libs/dems and their utter disdain for the current administration, no matter the costs.

I do not understand why there aren't people of influence and money that could start a REAL news network! I am starving for real news that matters to me.

Thank God for Free Republic - this is where I get most of my news.

1. Odd take on the facts. Isn't chlorine available in all 50 U.S. states?

Should we shut down Des Moines?

[Fire Walk With Me]

18. Flourine is nastier.

[saltpoint]

19. Hi, Peake. I defer to you on the chemistry.

But just the same, maybe we should shut down Des Moines anyway, just to be on the safe side.

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. You're probably better off depending upon yourself on the subject

but Fweepers are the kwaziest peeples, definitely.

[displacedtexan]

2. I overheard one freeper to another (on a plane) say...

"I think they moved those WMDs to Syria. How would our guys ever be able to
find them if they're in Syria?"

I wanted to scream, "Well, we must really suck if that really happened. I thought we had
the best intel and satellites on the planet."

But I didn't. I figured the TSA would call me a terrorist.

[underpants]

5. We were able to catch, track, find the flatbed with a Billion $ on it the night before the war

but then that was something really important-CASH- we just couldn't let Saddam get away with something that important now could we?

Remember the flatbed convoy? We sure tracked that like it was a freeway car chase but WMD big enough to fill Lake Mead...naw they just slipped out of the country.

[meegbear]

3. We could try to explain to them ...

that the reason they have these "chlorine bombs" is because we brought the chlorine over to purify their water supply, and insurgents are ....

You know, it ain't worth explaining it.

Thank God for Free Republic - this is where I get most of my news. :rofl:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

4. My neighbors whites are just a tad too bright

That always made me suspicious. I've always thought he might be a terrorist and now I have proof!

[maxrandb]

9. Make me wonder

What would Greg Louganis do?

[NewJeffCT]

15. damn, and my eyes always stung when I swam in this neighbor's pool

Maybe they were stockpiling chlorine? I guess I should report them to the NSA or something.

[enki23]

6. swimming pool WMD's

sure. and if they were drowning people in barbecue sauce, that would be a WMD too.

listen for a moment, you idiot fucking lurkers: anything can be a "WMD" if you stretch the definition that badly. we've seen in recent years that machetes can be "WMD's".

the term is only really useful for very specific things. those things are nuclear weapons, with the possible addition serious (ie. spread through human-human contact, not anthrax) biological weapons. that's it. there is no chemical, or conventional "biological" weapon that can seriously come close to the destructive and lethal power of a nuclear device.

on the other hand, we could easily starve millions to death using no weapons at all. our economy is, by your definition, a fucking WMD.

[Bonhomme Richard]

7. In a perfect world these people wouldn't be allowed to vote.......

or have children.

[maxrandb]

11. I think a DUer posted the below over there

I think it is a mistake to refer to these as WMDs:
1. How are these so called WMDs a threat to our national security? Were we concerned that terrorists were going to drive chlorine tankers from Iraq to the US?
2. If they are in some way a threat, how has the war in Iraq helped to enhance our security from the threat of these WMDs?
3. If we went into Iraq to prevent terrorists from getting their hands on WMDs, then how successful has this venture been when terrorists are currently using those weapons?

Of course there followed a brilliant Freaker response.

1. How are these so called WMDs a threat to our national security?
Terrorists apparently get used to it, may refine the technique and handling and ulitmately use them against US targets.

2. If they are in some way a threat, how has the war in Iraq helped to enhance our security from the threat of these WMDs?

Saddam was the major producer/user of chemical agents/weapons througout the last decades. Crushing him eliminated a (very) potential source of chemical Weapons for terrorists. Also I have no doubt the terrorists would be focusing more on the USA, if they were not diverted and fought by us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

3. If we went into Iraq to prevent terrorists from getting their hands on WMDs, then how successful has this venture been when terrorists are currently using those weapons?

See Answer 1. Also chlorine isn't exactly a WMD. It's as you may know, a rather common substance. The terrorists are improvising, and using chemicals in the mentioned "dirty bomb" tactic. Saddam's chemical weapons were more sophisticated and dangerous. If his regime would be still around, the terrorists would be threatening us with stuff more dangerous than chlorine.

Finally it should be said, that ultimately the terrorists in Iraq and their tactics can't be destroyed, as long as we ignore Iran and Syria. The war needs to be extended.

How do you argue with logic like that :eyes:

[roamer65]

21. ...and that freeptard needs to be drafted for the "extended war".

If he does not go willingly, then cuffed, thrown on a C-130 and dumped on the war front with Iran.

[MadHound]

27. "Saddam was the major producer/user of chemical agents/weapons througout the last decades."

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Umm, no dahling, that would be the US who was, and is, the major, number one producer of chemical weapons. Where the fuck do you think that Saddam got his stockpile?

It's just gotta be painful to be that stupid:eyes:

[sniffa]

8. iranian backed sunnis?

fucking dopes. :rofl:

[merh]

10. It is so sad that Faux news is failing them.

:(

Ruppert, Rush, Michelle, Mann how could you let them down?

[magellan]

12. The don't want real news

They want news that supports the lies they've been told. Then it's real to them. That's why they're becoming increasingly despondent. As support for BushCo drops off and the corporate media follows the trend to keep ratings up, freeps aren't being spoonfed their daily ration of propaganda anymore.

And the vital difference between them and us: we deal in facts whether the corporate media reports them or not, while freeps are nothing without someone in authority confirming their belief system. They aren't clever enough to wake up and realize on their own, as most of America already has, that they've been lied to over and over again by BushCo.

One offers the explanation for their persistent willing ignorance in one simple statement: "Thank God for Free Republic - this is where I get most of my news."

Dumpster divers.

[The_Casual_Observer]

13. Are all inbred people that stupid?

[bullwinkle428]

14. So every backyard swimming pool in America is a...

...BUBBLING CAULDRON OF DEATH!!! (Cue the scary music!)

[sinkingfeeling]

16. I'd be willing to bet that these good freepers have WMDs in their houses or very gray undies.

[SCantiGOP]

17. I feel dirty

I went to the site to read this crap. Look at this jackass' comment and his signature line - a real bloodthirsty warmonger:

Finally it should be said, that ultimately the terrorists in Iraq and their tactics can't be destroyed, as long as we ignore Iran and Syria. The war needs to be extended.

20. When you're drowning, you'll grab for anything you can to stay afloat.

That's exactly what the freeptards are doing here.

[verse18]

25. Drowning in a pool filled with....CHLORINE!!!

THE FREEPS HAVE WMD!!!!!!!!WE'RE SCREEEEEEEEEWN!!!!

[maxrandb]

29. Heck

just the amount in their chain smokin' momma's hair coloring products would be enough to knock out an entire American 400M relay team.

The horror! The horror!

[Liberal In Texas]

22. So they don't believe their own beloved admin.? They've ADMITTED that

there were no WMDs.

What a deluded bunch. Good Germans all.

[PA Democrat]

24. What idiots. The news reports stated that they were being used by SUNNI

insurgents. The SUNNIS are backed by Saudi Arabia and not Iran. In response to the moron "Skywarner's" post:

It's not.

That speaks volumes about how complicit much of the MSM is with the libs/dems and their utter disdain for the current administration, no matter the costs.

26. Find me a single nation without supplies of chlorine.

Does that mean they're ALL possessed of WMD? Those people apparently have no brain cells other than ones devoted to autonomic functions.

[LSK]

28. not only chlorine, but it was Iranian terrorists

:eyes:

[maxrandb]

30. and the chlorine was provided by

the North Koreans, who flew it to Iran with Syrian pilots at the controls.

[BuyingThyme]

31. Wait until they find out about the gasoline.

[krispos42]

34. Shhhh! You'll let the cat out of the bag!

Or dissolving styrofoam or soap powder in gasoline to make napalm...

Candle wax and nitrous oxide makes a good rocket fuel. And there's this trick you can pull with saltpeter, sulphur, and charcoal...

[Sapere aude]

32. "Thank God for Free Republic - this is where I get most of my news."

Thats says it all for me.


You can lead a fool to bullshit and you can make him drink it up!

[krispos42]

33. Oh, dear god. I could make a WMD my mixing bleach with ammonia, then

mmmm... chloramine... <drool>

Look, a bunch of insurgents wrapping a bomb with bottles of bleach is not a WMD program. So sorry, freepers. Try again. When you find a cache of artillery shells full of VX made after 1991, give me a call.
