Chlorine was used during world war I as a chemical weapons. One does not chlorinate swimming pools with a tank of compressed Chlorine gas.
What's the point of looking for WMDs if the liberals are going to make an excuse for everything found and give Saddam a pass on it. If its Plutionium, its for a commerical reactor, it is chlorine, its for the swimming pools, it its a potential nerve agent its to make fertilizer etc. And all these non-WMDs fall into terrorists hands and conveninetly use it as a weapon yet you say some GIs burned out lungs does not constitute proof of the existance of chemical weapons in Iraq.
Chlorine if pumped into a cylinder and then detonated is a very simple bomb to make and theres lots of explosives to be found in Iraq. One mistake the USA did make as Rumsfield stated himself was not to stop the looting of the armouries of the Iraqi army after the invasion. Then again most car bombs that explode over there as well as the components for these chlorine gas bombs have there basis in common ammonia based fertiliser. In this case it simply was Chlorine in its liquid form detonated and the heat of the explosion gassified some and the splashed Chlorine would also start outgassing in the blast area.
Nerve agents are not too difficult to make but you have to be out to make them and you can then be caught. There is also the problem that unlike chlorine for real effectiveness they have to be applied and that takes a bit of skill and means to do so. The average insurgent just does not have this. putting a tank in the back of a pickup and then blowing it up is a whole bunch of factors easier than using the really deadly stuff.
Tom no one is looking for Saddams WMDs anymore they are irrelevant now and even if there had been some they are well disapeared across the border into Jordan or Saudia Arabia by now. But will there be WMDs used in Iraq I dont know. The factions that are trying to create the strife and to cause the Civil war we all fear, so bringing in all the surrounding states on the side of the various factions would love to use WMDs on there opponents.

Well so long as the liberal critics ask why did we go into Iraq, there were no WMDs found, I have to say they were wrong, because technically Chlorine gas is a weapon of mass destruction, when released in to the atmoshere this green gas sinks to the ground, and burns the eyes, lungs and skin of everybody it comes in contact with, thus it is a weapon of mass destruction, Saddam wasn't supposed to have this even though it is simple to make, it is still a WMD. So I'm just saying to those liberal critics who say where's the WMD and then assume the answer was their isn't any that they are wrong. So long as they dwell on why we got into Iraq in the first place instead of asking how we will win, I will point out the chlorine gas and other nasty gases the insurgents may see fit to use on our troops, and use that as evidence. If the liberals shut up on the way back machine and start talking about how we defeat the enemy, rather than how we pull out, I'll stop pointing out all the gas attacks. You see so long as we were looking for WMD and might possible use that as evidence that Saddam Hussein had them, the Insurgents were afraid to use them for fear of justifying American involvement and undercutting the democrats argument, now that the Democrats have the majority and aren;t going to listen to any real evidence anyway, the insurgents feel free now to use poison gas on out troops. Isn't it curious that they only started doing so after the democrats got elected.
The Democrats want to pull out and they want their own country to lose, isn't that shameful? The only thing that's stopping them from pulling funds is their fear that our generals are going to point their fingers at then and say the only reason we lost is because our traitorous Congressmen cut our funds and forced us to withdraw and hand Iraq over to the enemy, and their worst fear is that those same generals might point out that they were making gains until the money ran out, and then they'll glare angrily at those congressmen again. I think a forced pullout will divide this country like nothing since the American Civil War. You'll have Republicans looking at the Democrats and blaming them for America's second defeat, and perhaps some of them vowing to go back into Iraq, the moment the Republicans gain the majority in the house once again, and blow out whatever gains the terrorists might have gained in our absence.
I think the American people voted the way the voted in 2006 because they weren't satisfied with the progress we made in the War and wanted to hold someone accountable. They didn't vote that way because they were against the troops, against the war of felt that the terrorists should win. What they wanted was a better strategy and better generals, not a retreat! The Democrats assumed they wanted a retreat, and that's wrong, maybe their left-wing constituents would like to see America defeated, but not the average American.
The Democrats have a problem in that there are too many socialists and America haters in their party, and the vote in the primaries too often, but the general elections contains more less partisan voters who are more interested in whats good for the country than in seeing this country defeated in War, with the help of friends on Congress.

I read a report that there's reason to believe that the chemical attacks have now coming from Iranian (sworn enemies of America ) and Saudi (our supposed ally) stockpiles. Both Iran and the Saudis are funding terrorism, using Iraq as a proxy to hit at each other.

From what I hear, some Democrats are afraid that we might redeploy our troops from Iraq into Iran as an invading force and attempt to topple that government there, that's not what the democrats had in mind when they talked about redeployment, they'd much rather redeploy the troops to where they'll do no good, they're terribly afraid that if we topple the government in Iran, that will end the war in Iraq on our terms rather than on the terms of the enemy.

Iraq is a breeding ground for suicide bombers
http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/AlQ … 99773.html
Suspicion has to rest with al-Qaeda over the Iraqi parliament suicide bombing that killed up to eight people, Prime Minister John Howard says.Mr Howard said the attack - inside Baghdad's most secure area - was no real surprise and showed the terrorists were desperate to derail the ongoing security surge.
A man blew himself up in the Iraqi parliament canteen in Baghdad's Green Zone late on Thursday, killing up to eight people in a staggering breach of security
An Al Qaeda-linked group says it staged the suicide bombing on the Iraqi Parliament on Thursday (local time), and it delayed claiming responsibility to give those involved in planning the attack time to escape.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/20 … 897113.htm
The self-styled Islamic State in Iraq said in a statement on a website used by Islamists: "One of the heroes of the martyrs' brigade managed to infiltrate into the midst of the apostates of the so-called parliament and God destroyed through him the infidels and apostates".

That has little to do with George Bush, what's your point?
Besides, without George Bush, there would be no Parliment for them to bomb. At least this Parliment has real representatives in it that were elected by the people. Saddam's Parliment was just window dressing, it represented no real power and it did whatever Saddam told it to do.

China built many things except a democracy, it could really be a great country if it can only get that part right.
