Rich in Ohio Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I was just listening to the radio and I heard a report that we found more arms and weapons in fallugah since we moved in then in the rest of iraq combined. This is staggering considering how many tons of weapons have been captured so far, and we have not even been able to destroy all of them yet. Oh well, I wonder what percentage of the actuall total these two amounts equal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, CNN also reported the chemical weapons found in Fallujah...but hey, who needs consistency in the media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's it. After the invasion. You can't prove it was there BEFORE the invasion. Oh, and those were not STOCKPILES of weapons. We were promised STOCKPILES. Where are the STOCKPILES?

The only 'major stories' covered by the media are the ones that make the U.S. military and the President look bad. Those, and Laci Peterson or whatever other irrelevant trial they want to talk about.

Like they ordered it from ACME. Wasn't sure what to expect, but I figured if they were hiding something, it wouldn't be labelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's been 20 years but we had a better self contained unit. As far as labelling goes, what did you expect, Iraq to just know what everything is? Of course they are labelled.

You just select the appropriate tube for the gas you want to detect/measure, cut off the ends, insert the tube into the pump and the color change tells you what is in the atmosphere you're breathing.

_BiB_ Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Dragers are an industry standard for hazmat and industrial safety. More difficult to use than the normal field issued detection devices. Army Technical Escort uses them because of their sensitivity over things like the M256A1 and the CAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds absurd to me. 132084[/snapback] Sarin gas isn't the only thing the system can detect. CO2, CO, and a host of other atmosphere contaminants can be measured using the system. Check the link I provided. Sorry, (not really) to burst your bubble, but keep trying... Maybe there really are stockpiles of WMD somewhere in Iraq, but if there are they haven't been found yet.

I think this is around the 345th thread along the lines of "Aha! WMDs found in Iraq, take that you liberal scum". It is also the 345th time the initial claim was total crap. Richio is our primary source for this never ending error geyser. None of the prior claims were quite so spectacularly, completely and quickly debunked as this one. Congratulations and thanks for the laugh. Problem is, I am sure this very claim is circulating elsewhere and without someone there with your knowledge on the issue, it is being taken as gospel truth.
