U.S. Marines just crossed the Tigris River, and are securing the holy city of Karbala. This is within the "Red Line" that Iraqi intelligence will use as a final line to determine the release of WMD's on Coalition soldiers. Around this line, troops have found all sorts of recent issue gas masks with bio filters, and new bio suits with instructions.

What's your prediction?

Bluff by the Iraqis or real?

We will know within 24 hrs whether our messages got to the Iraqi commanders to not release their WMD's.
Here we go.
 
I'm pulling this right out of my ass, so source-seekers will be sorely disappointed (and possibly mortified) but I heard that if Iraq uses WMD, France is in.

Anyone around who can confirm or deny?

All shit will break loose if they use WMD's

I think most of the Arab world will join in with us
 
Bluff...

Right now is a good time to question what you hear...and the more "We heard that they said" sort of situtations there are, the more you must question
 
U.S. Marines just went to MOPP level 2...

Just now.

MOPP Level 0 -- None of the protective clothing and equipment is worn, but it is readily available.
MOPP Level 1 -- The overgarment and helmet cover are worn.
MOPP Level 2 -- Overboots are added.
MOPP Level 3 -- Chemical protective mask and hood are added. At this point personnel are completely encapsulated.
MOPP Level 4 -- Butyl rubber gloves are added.

Spin I guess you signed you're own death warrant with that AV.

I had respect for you till now even when we disagreed, but YOU are a sorry excuse for a Texan and an American!

Crawl under the rock with Saddam Dickwad!

And don't think MG will have anything to do with you either, she saw it too, in her words "fuck you spin" !

And why do you think that?

At the moment they're having a hard time keeping their ant-American movements under control. If Saddam uses WMD, if he has any, that could well be seen by others that he is willing to fight to the end, and that in turn could well intensify the riots enough to make other Arab Governments think again about their position...

Yeah, but is that an excuse to use women and children as shields for his way of life?

Is that an excuse to kill thousands of innocent people testing bio and nerve agents?

There is a line in the Koran about innocent lives that goes something like this

To slaugther so many people even unbelievers is a crime before God

You can find a line in the Koran, like you can in the Bible, to cover any eventuality.

But the ant-American riots in other Arab States have nothing to do with the Koran as such, they're about the invasion of a brother Arab country by a much hated foreign power.

If the war is not over quickly we may well find help arriving in Iraq from its neighbours...

01:26 AM EST/9:26 AM Iraq: FOX's North: Warning of chemical attack

Oliver North is reporting from the field that the troops are getting their first serious warning of an immediate possibility of chemical attack, probably because they are now clearly within the "red line." They are in full chemical warfare gear.

They are in full chemical warfare gear.

Oh Shit is going to hit the fans if WMD's are used :(
 
03:27 AM EST/11:27 AM Iraq: Embed Kelly with 3ID
Greg Kelly of Fox, embedded with 3rd Infantry Division : Already at Karbala...expecting more resistance...as we move north expecting showdown with Republican Guard, because they've already fought them. They (the RG) faught hard, but not well...substantial casualties to them...not a local unit -- they came from Tikrit...clearly a major push...no secret now...will be in vicinity of Baghdad...will face a large number of the guard...have chemical protection (boots)...weather is an issue, 80 degrees...but gear isn't that bad...brigade is ready for "sliming" (chemical attack)....morale: pretty fired up...the sooner they get to Baghdad, the sooner they get home....this is what they came for....anxious to complete their mission
 
Semper Fi and Hoah bump....

I must sleep.........
But first, if our forces passed the 50 mile marker to Baghdad earlier, and the road speed is 35mph, then how close are we really?

Argue among yourselves, I still say they have WMD's, but are running out of ways to deliver it.
 
They have to pray that the Ghost of Saddam will ride in on a new sandstorm and provide the cover...

Of course the dumbfawks will probably miss our troops and hit civilian areas and Al Jazeerah will blame it on Isreal.

Or they might just be full enough of themselves to blame it on the great Satan!

So a Satan worshipper can't express patriotic feelings?
