#1 They may have some of Saddam's missing booty. If they use any of it, they should be ground down to fine particulate matter.

#3 What worries me is that usually after an Expert™ sez something like this he's proven wrong.

#4 The question is. Are the Paleo's stupid enough to actually use Chemical or Bio weapons if they had them?

My bet is that, yes, they are that stupid.

#5 Sounds like Al-AKsa is indir insisting/demanding the IDF invade Gaza [read, piss off EGYPT].

#6 So your world-class scientists managed to develop twenty different kinds of weapons in just three years, eh? Probably chlorine bleach in 20 different kinds of pop cans. And if it were true that they had posession of almost any kind of chemical weapon, that would put Syria's head on the chopping block.

Caddy, the dull axe, please.

#8 grb, no, they have more than that. They have urine-filled water balloons, vomit-filled bags, and a few dog turds. And, of course, the well-aimed lugee and piece of rotten fruit. Those are the "biological" weapons.

If you can't beat 'em, gross 'em out!!

#10 they can't make a decent bottle rocket but they can produce chemical and bio weapons?

#11 Given the IQ of the average Pal, we would have heard about a lot of "work-related accidents" with chemical or bio tags long before now.

Still got the rat poison on the nails for splodydopes tho'. That counts.

#13 Paleo corpses thrown over the wall?

#14 Paleo corpses thrown over the wall?

Bombs in babies diapers. Splodeypants. [baby sings] "I'm a big bomb, now!"

#15 Counter argument. Prove it is a Bluff. You take some effort for a change instead of ankle biting.

#16 3dc: No work accidents. Twenty different types of weapons in three years? They're so vain they'd have mentioned they had them after the first one or two. Why tip your hand? Israel would have said something by now. Who is their expert? They have plenty of reason to bluff. Biological my @$$. They'd get crushed if they used them (militarily, politically, domestically, and internationally). They're dumb enough to have put them in one of their bottle rockets by now. Where do the hide them?

They may have recently obtained them, but they didn't develop them.

That's what I can think of.
