Dirty Bombers: Poisonous Gas in Iraq

And remember how I hoped that our troops would be able to put the bombers and their evil boom-boom room out of commission ASAP?

Well, bless their hearts. It looks like they might have done that very thing...

From the Deseret News: US soldiers in Iraq find car bomb factory.
"The raid on the car bomb factory occurred late Tuesday in the volatile western province of Anbar, U.S. authorities said. U.S. troops discovered a pickup truck and three other vehicles that were being prepared as car bombs, as well as detonation material in five buildings. "We also found ingredients to be used to devise or enhance explosives, such as fertilizer and chlorine cylinders," Odierno(Lt. Gen Ray, our #2 man in Iraq) told Pentagon reporters by video-link."

Oh, great. The islamoCOWards had fertilizer, too.

About chlorine gas:
"With low levels of exposure, chlorine, which was used as a weapon in World War I, can cause breathing problems and irritate the skin. At high levels, it is fatal."

About UN weapon expert David Kay and chlorine:
"Experts say chlorine is used as a disinfectant and is widely available in Iraq, which the U.N. long suspected of trying to build a chemical weapons arsenal. But former U.N. weapons inspector David Kay said U.N. experts paid little attention to "garden variety" industrial-grade chemicals such as fertilizers and chlorine unless they were found in large quantities or near weapons plants. Major cities such as Baghdad stocked chlorine for water treatment."

Bad Karmah:
"The discovery of the car bomb factory Tuesday took place in the town of Karmah, 50 miles west of the capital."

BONUS ISLAMOPERPS: In the interview the general also indicated that at least two suspects have been arresting in the downing of 8 (!) helicopters. Details remain sketchy but if true, this would be EXCELLENT news. Stay tuned....
