DAN CEPPA said to TIM RICHARDSON...

DC> TR> Within the last week or so, a suicide-murderer set off a vehicle

DC> TR> (chlorine, I think). 

DC>Yep, signs that the US pressince is having an effect... 

DC> TR> Something tells me those WMD's you're always
DC> TR> yamm.....er....`asking' after, are about to make their presence

DC>Chlorine gas by itself is not weaponized.  And, it has legitimate 
DC>instustrial purposes. In Iraq, the primary use is in water
DC>purification  plants.   IEDs are just what the name says.  So, are
DC>you saying that  the water purification plabts must be shut down? 

Connecting highly improvised "gas bombs" that kill not with the gas, but 
with the explosives to Saddam's imaginary "WMD" is really a stretch.

In fact industrial chlorine makes a lousy "weapon," since it would only 
work in a small closed room.

Outside, while some get sick, no one dies.

DC> TR> Those to whom Saddam passed off the WMD's everybody thinks were
DC> TR> never there, could not possibly be any friend of the U.S.;
DC> TR> Saddam certainly wasn't. And whoever it was that obligingly took
DC> TR> them off his hands will probably be perfectly willing to send
DC> TR> them back to Iraq, via terrorist suicide-murderers, without
DC> TR> charge.

DC>If Saddam had them available he would have used them.  He fired off 
DC>the few SCUDs he had and his bolt was shot.  Within days of the 
DC>invasion his army was not just on the run but was melting back 
DC>into the general populace to hide.  

I'm trying to figure, is Tim saying Saddam handed off his WMD to people 
in Syria or Lebanon or wherever, before the invasion?
That particular theory is being pushed by a Russian officer, to sell a 
book that has nothing to back it up.

DC>There was no exit strategy in place.  There still isn't one 
DC>in the White House.  

There is an "Exit Strategery" in Bush's White House.
Bush, Cheney, and the rest of their goons follow Rummy in "cutting and 
running," to their posh retirements, meanwhile the next guy is left to 
clean up the mess.
