    Every gas is toxic.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            It's just that the Bush admin has managed to create very politically self-detrimental situation by trying to break the Chemical Weapons Convention for practically no real gain.

            It's like they were suddenly hit with the idiot stick many, many times.

              If they start dropping those food packets containing peanut butter and chili beans then they don't have to use the toxic gases, the local population will produce them by themselves...
              I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                I think Bush was born with it up his ass...
                To us, it is the BEAST.

                  I think Bush is an Iraqi spy whose purpose is to break the US dominance in only 4 years

                      A special working group of the Federation of American Scientists concluded last month that using even the mildest of these weapons to incapacitate people would kill 9 per cent of them. It added: "Chemical incapacitating weapons are as likely as bullets to cause death."
                      As said above, 'oh the irony'. The USA is planning to use chemical weapons to defeat a nation that they are going to war with because they say that it will use its chemical weapons on others.

                      I'd like to see the US/pro-war bunch defend this decision.

                      Professor Julian Perry Robinson, one of the world's foremost authorities on the convention, said: "Legally speaking, Iraq would be totally justified in releasing chemical weapons over the UK if the alliance uses them in Baghdad.
                      Even us the British, the staunchest allies of the USA, are pissed off at this decision. If we're going to war to defeat a dictator who'll use WoMD, we're not going to want to fight alongside a non-dictator who uses WoMD.

                      The use of chemical weapons by US forces was explicitly banned by President Gerald Ford in 1975 after CS gas had been repeatedly used in Vietnam to smoke out enemy soldiers and then kill them as they ran away.
                      Nothing like a fair fight eh?

                            Unless Atlanta has suddenly been relocated to another country, or the South has seceded yet again, I'd say there's no doubt we are the Home of the Braves.

                              Maybe he was referring to the Native Americans ? Or did they get relocated out of their home and onto some wasteland ? Hang on! I meant move to a nice comfy reservation!

                              Anyway stop going off topic you slackers, we're discussing the irony of the usage of toxic gas on Iraqis
