#1 Hard boyz say they fired chemical rounds into Baghdad

1) total BS? only a press release.
2) got ahold of new stocks?
3)I've read that the coalition ( US & Brits in the main), have been buying Iran/Iraq war vintage (1980â1988) chemical mortar & chemical arty rounds from the Iraqi blackmarket, since right after the the take down of Saddam.

They'd be at least 20 years old +...degraded ?% depending on the agent.

#2 Hey, "No WMDS" remember - you know the Failed/Angry Left and their Spetzlamists: its not their fault no one understood that when they use the term "WMDS" in the MSM, they're SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, silently inferring, implying, or meaning Nuke weapons and only nukies, NOT any chemies andor biologicals. Good Clintonian Barbarians care about Sharp Swords of Bullying, NOT Swamp Gases.

#3 20+ year old stocks inert or more dangerous to those handeling them than if used as a weapon.

It's not like these have been stored in perfect conditions, they haven't.

If it was from fresh stocks I would be worried if I was Iran. I don't think Iran will get a warning before the air bursts of fissle weapons above one or more of their major cities. We don't have much else we can do and we will not ignore any such agression.

#5 I think it was old stocks of English Leather and Old Spice. Low rent stuff.

Now if it had been Aramis or Deauville Pour Homme, hey, look out burqa babes.

#8 Willy Pete is a chemical round, too, and probably available. Actually, all rounds are chemical, unless they've taken to firing cats at us.

#9 A long time ago I asked my uncle why he had Brut cologne.

"I hate it so much, I wear it to work."

That's one of my all-time favorites.

#11 Chemical agents? Like the WMDs that "don't exist"? Heh.

Putting on my Magical Tinfoil Hat of Moral Equivalence, I have to point out that the Coalition forces are already using kinetic energy weapons powered by chemical free-radical oxidation reactions. So, there!

And finally, a serious question: given the general Islamic prohibitions against fun, is it un-Islamic to smell nice?

#12 "is it un-Islamic to smell nice?"

From my experience it goes against tradition.
