Breaking news.....
U.S. Forces South of Baghdad, find cache of thousands of boxes filled with white powder, chemical suits, gas masks, atrophine, and chemical warfare instructions. Details are coming.

The puzzle comes together.

**A car bomb went off at a checkpoint to a dam, killing three US Soldiers. A pregnant woman jumped from the car screaming, and when the soldiers went to help her, the male blew everyone up. They're using pregnant women now, anything that we're wired to protect. Bastards!
 
Don't most cultures tend to protect their pregnant women?

Not counting evil dictatorships, that is.
 
A good thing today...

Weather being a factor in all warfare, the winds today are strong and out of the South. If they use any chemical weapons, they'll disperse away from the main battle area.
Wanna bet we push hard tonight?
 
White Powder?

Could be anything.

Remember that 'chemical weapons factory' they found about a week ago? Next day they said it wasn't.

Wait until the test results are in first before deciding what it is.
 
So far..

Col. John Peabody, engineer brigade commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said the materials were found at the Latifiyah industrial complex, about 25 miles south of Baghdad.

"It is clearly a suspicious site," Peabody said.

Peabody said troops found thousands of boxes, each of which contained three vials of white powder, together with documents written in Arabic that dealt with how to engage in chemical warfare.

He also said they discovered atropine, used to counter the effects of nerve agents.

The plant itself was shown on U.S. military maps as including underground storage facilities, Reuters reported. Some contained liquid, some powder. The books and manuals were in a safe, Captain Kevin Jackson told Reuters near Baghdad.

"It's unclear at this point what the vials contain and we're sending a team of experts to examine them," Jackson said.

The facility had been identified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as a suspected chemical, biological and nuclear weapons site. U.N. inspectors visited the plant at least a dozen times, including as recently as Feb. 18.

The facility is part of a larger complex known as the Latifiyah Explosives and Ammunition Plant al Qa Qaa.

Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks told reporters during a U.S. Central Command briefing in Qatar Friday that special forces in Iraq's western desert also found what they believed to be a training school for handling nuclear, chemical and biological warfare in the western desert of Iraq.

At least one bottle of the deadly chemical weapon, Tabun <http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,76864,00.html>, was reportedly found. Tabun is a clear, colorless and tasteless liquid with a slightly fruity odor, and is lethal.

If skin absorption is great enough, death may occur in one to two minutes, or it may be delayed for one to two hours. Lethal respiratory dosages kill in one to 10 minutes, and liquid in the eye kills almost as rapidly.
