Sarin Found in Falllujah?
2004-11-11
Instapundit:

NPR'S ANNE GARRELS IS REPORTING that Sarin nerve gas has been found in Fallujah. Stay tuned.


Could be the basis for the false reports we were talking about yesterday. Either the jihadis had some shells and didn't know what they had, or the speed of the assault kept them from using it.

#7  I don't think they would contaminate areas waiting for U.S. troops. Sarin is very volatile and evaporates fast.
My real worry would be the water. Water can be contaminated easily with sarin and poisoned wells could kill many people. Of course these would be inhabitants serving propaganga purposes.
As we know there have already been claims that the "Americans" used chemical weapons.

#6  Why on earth would the muj need a test kit for Sarin?

(a: because they are planning to contaminate some areas and need to be able to mark the crossing lanes)

#5  UPDATE: NPR has changed the story to say that it's kits to test for Sarin.

Story has been revised . . .

#3  Rumors about CW weapons in the hands of the muj terr's in Iraq have been flying thick in the rumor mill.

This is why I was up in arms last night about the "US used CW in Fallujah" report - they were setting up the US to take the fall for the muj using it in Fallujah.

Sounds like we decapitated the leadership in Fallujah and moved so fast that we kept them disorganized to the point that they couldnt get the stuff into combat.

Big thing now is to verify this find, and spread the news far and wide - especially in the Arab World - that the "Foreign Fighters" and Al Qaeda were going to gas people, and concentrate on the fact that the civilians have NO protection agains tthis stuff, and that it harms women, children, kittens, baby ducks...

#2  Is she naked?

Well, she thought that was the most important thing to report from the 2003 campaign, at least in her book about it.

So I file her reports appropriately.

#1  WMD's? Impossible. I've been assured by CBS,NBC,ABC,BBC,
IAEA, U.N., EU, AP, UPI, Reuters, Al-Jizz, Arab News, NPR, and the DNC that WMD's don't exist and never did exist in Iraq.
