I asked how many days into And now you're the expert on how long it should take them to find (well-hidden) WMD, when they are more worried about getting killed? The search doesn't begin in earnest until all resistance is quashed. Last thing we need is some guys rolling out a SCUD packed with VX, and some clown launches an RPG.
Post #93,123 by Brandioch 3/30/03 4:35:14 PM Reply	That's the fact! And now you're the expert on how long it should take them to find (well-hidden) WMD, when they are more worried about getting killed? Here's the [link\|http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49385-2003Mar29.html\|article]. Our troops have BEEN checking sites. The search doesn't begin in earnest until all resistance is quashed. No, that will be the "search". That is when the "weapons" will be "found". That is AFTER the search of the sites that our intelligence has identified as being the ones where we believe Saddam is keeping them has proven fruitless. hahahahahahhahaha Last thing we need is some guys rolling out a SCUD packed with VX, and some clown launches an RPG. Why? Wouldn't the desert be a BETTER place than a mall in Kuwait? Far fewer initial casualties and far easier to decon. Oh, that's right. You thought that only high temp fire could decon a site. That was until I told you that VX could be decon'ed with hypochlorites. hahahahahahahahahha That's the difference between a prediction and your excuses. hahahahahahahahahaaa

Actually, it just converts the agent to salts, which aren't as easily absorbed but still toxic. And bleach decon happens after the fact. And it requires a heckuva lot of bleach. Once the VX is burning, it becomes a sol. You can't catch smoke.
Post #93,168 by Brandioch 3/30/03 10:18:11 PM Reply	Fire can be extinguished. Soaking the area in a hypochlorite solution would put out your mythical fire. Again, the current reports say that US forces ARE checking out suspected chemical sites. You said that they should not. You made an excuse for them not finding anything. That excuse was the scenario you presented. With the fire and the VX and so forth. Yet the fact is that the US troops are doing EXACTLY what you said they should NOT do. And they are NOT encountering your mythical fire. Strange.

If there is a sealed bulkhead and it's not going anywhere, they will not poke around just for fun. The real investigation starts when there is no risk of chemical or bio agents being accidentally released.
Post #93,256 by Brandioch 3/31/03 1:55:57 PM Reply	So they did hire you? They are looking as far as necessary to establish an immediate risk level. If there is a sealed bulkhead and it's not going anywhere, they will not poke around just for fun. That's strange because the article referenced elsewhere did not indicate this. It seemed to indicate that the US military was looking for the presence of nuke/chem/bio at those sites. Of course, this might not contradict your claim of "risk level", but it does say that the "risk level" they have found is "no nuke/chem/bio weapons found". Strange how that works. They aren't going to "poke around" but they are able to establish that there aren't any nuke/chem/bio weapons.

Post #93,325 by Brandioch 3/31/03 7:36:38 PM Reply	That would be the cities? As they secure positions, and the bitva front moves away from those positions, they are then performing inspections. And that would be...... everywhere except in the cities. So, the only places where, by your logic, we are NOT inspecting would be the cities (currently held by the Iraqis). They are not performing in-depth inspections of positions that are still in the middle of a bitva. That would be because those are still occupied by Iraqis. But that does NOT explain why they have NOT found the chemical weapons you claim Saddam has. Unless those are only hidden inside the cities. And, as each of those cities fall, you'll come up with another excuse as to why no chemical weapons were found.
