"...Your pretty desperate to make me look as ridiculous as you do right now.".

You don't need my help to look ridiculous. You're doing just fine on your own.

Carry on.

Toad ... what are you talking about ... there were no any chemical or banned weapons but artilery shells

and some rockets with long range or something like that

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

You can try to turn it into "blindly partisan" but the history of my position on Iraq and WMD is here in the archives. Anyone who's been following this issue and actually read what I posted knows you're just slinging the old BS.

I'll stand on what I posted; my position is clear and has been since before the invasion. Apparently, you're just too visually handicapped to read and understand it.

Have a nice day!

im only asking to be sure ... did you mean the old BS link bellow ?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3407853.stm

according to your post Toad in this thead, you did consider WMD to be this http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3386357.stm
and now i post this, with question http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3407853.stm

So i see the only one thing thats absolutly clear about your 'clear opinions'

i guess, that you will probably find some WMD even in NaCl

Danes show suspect Iraqi shells

Quote

The Danish army has released pictures of three dozen mortar shells which have provided the only post-war proof that Iraq possessed banned weapons.

The shells were uncovered on Friday and initial tests showed they contained blister agent, a chemical weapon.

'No blister agent' in Iraq shells

Three dozen mortar shells uncovered in Iraq earlier this month had no chemical agents, the Danish army says.

Note the Source and the Date for both of these.

Lastly, I again refer you to this post in page two of this thread.

Maybe that's confusing to you, Orel.

It says that even if the mortar shells, initially named as banned chemical weapons by the BBC, did have mustard gas in them, I personally WOULD NOT consider them as sufficient evidence of WMD to justify and invasion.

I can't help you any more than that. You'll just have to ponder on it and ponder on it until it comes to you... or it doesn't.

Give it up, Toad. Some of these guys only hear what they want to hear. You're absolutely right in your comments, and you're going to have to let them stand there.

Did not all get this?
Those shells did NOT contain mustard gas or nerve gas. It was a false alarm.
However, didn't they prove that the Iraqis were manufacturing Anthrax? And wasn't the Anthrax which started to kill in Florida originating from Iraq?

No, it was an American Wacko who sent the Anthrax letters all over the US. The Anthrax was traced back to an American lab, if i recall correctly.

To sum up, independent sources (Danish) initially stated the shells contained a blistering agent (chemical weapon), but 9 days later recounted and said they didn't.

The kits used for testing are designed to err on positive side in order to protect those in the field.
Even then they spoke of traces.
All in all, another circus event under the HTC Bigtop.
_____________________________ _______________________
Field tests conducted by British and Danish inspectors indicated that the shells - found on 9 January - contained traces of blister gases - including mustard gas compounds.

But further tests by the Iraq Survey Group in South Iraq and the US Department of Energy's National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory in Idaho proved these results were incorrect.

"The results show the shells from the Danish area did not contain chemical warfare agents," the Danish Army Operational Command confirmed on Sunday.

Maybe this thread could continue until they do actually find WMD?
