Not for the weak minded, for you are being subjected to a news outlet of a vast right wing conspiracy

One of them got caught, and 29 made it across somehow or the other. Of those 29, we are told now that somewhere between six and 12 of them may have, in fact, been laden with chemical explosives that would be then attached to a rocket of some sort inside Iraq that's already there in a separate convoy.

...which the idea that is being put forward is to kill as many as 3,000 to 5,000 people at one shot; something that would be similar to a World Trade Center (search) type of attack. In that part of the world, the only way you could get that done is if you launched a massive chemical or biological attack.



HUME: Oh, we've got just a few seconds left. The credible of your sources, your assessment?

IJAZ: They're unimpeachable. Again, I think they've been right all along. We'll find out in the coming days in a print report about the bin Laden story in great detail. Everything has been verified. We will see that
Let's hope it isn't true :(

*YAWN* - how they love keeping us under a veil of fear

and those "chemicals" may well have come from outside of iraq, the terrorist type folks can bring them with them

Its been a long time since I've read a foxnews report but wow. They find crucial information and blow it waaay out of proportion (As in "Bin Laden will kill your mother, wife, and child....tomorrow!" proportions)

those 29, we are told now that somewhere between six and 12 of them may have, in fact, been laden with chemical explosives that would be then attached to a rocket of some sort inside Iraq that's already there in a separate convoy. And that those warheads would then be exploded over, for example, an encampment near the Coalition Provisional Authority or something like that.

Dear lord, they need to get their facts together before they try to scare us

Edit: Bad bold tag

This came from MANSOOR IJAZ, who's in Iraq. Not sure how credible he is or is not...

"Mansoor Ijaz, chairman of Crescent Investment Management in New York" has written on NRO, but again, not sure if this is the same guy.

"They intercepted one of those trucks that were carrying a large warhead that had extremely sophisticated plastic -- C- 4 plastic explosives in it"

If Iraq bound Iranians were carrying C-4, someone from the U.S. has a lot of explaining to do.

Oh, by the way . . .

Is this Chemical Attack as big as the one that Rush Limbaugh had ?

Nope still just on foxnews. I'll watch this closely, as this reporter/analyst really sunk his reputation on it...

Have republicans ever heard of "The Boy who Cried Wolf"? What about "The Shrub who Cried WMD?"
