Do we agree that any biological, chemical or nuclear weapon is a weapon of mass destruction...?

I'm no expert but I'd wager that any weapon that can cause mass destruction would qualify as a weapon of mass destruction.

So maybe a definition of "mass" is in order... A nuke? Sarin gas on a subway? A nasty flu virus going around at the office?

Or maybe it's like that quote about the difference between erotica and porn. Answer was: " I dunno how to define the difference, but I know it when I see it".

For me, it's kind of like that. When the war is over and we all take a breather from high-fivin', it won't be long in my mind after seeing what emerges before I feel comfortable with that action or feel a bit sick about it.

Hell, maybe we go by the Blitz definition afterall... Are Iraq's weapons and/or weapons programs a threat to the US or... is it ridiculous? :)

Well, you'd think that wouldn't you. However with that definition, some conventional weapons would also be characterized as WMD's (FAE's for example).

So, 10Bears DOES NOT have the confidence in what he's been spouting to back it up with a mere $45.

Quote
I will accept your second wager. You win $45 IF

1)The weapons are found within two weeks of Iraqi surrender.

2)Hans Blix and his team are allowed to inspect those weapons.

3)Has to be real weapons of mass destruction. Can’t keep raising the bar.

4)You sleep with that cute lil hippy gal above.


1. It'll take them more than two weeks to get Blix and team back into Iraq after hostilities cease. Make it six months and you have a bet.

2. Blix (or his UN appointed successor) and team are fine by me.

3. I'm talking chem or bio weapons currently prohibited to them by UN resolutions. That's what Blix is there looking for right? Sarin? Yep. VX? Yep. Mustard Gas? Yep. Anthrax? Yep. Botulin toxin? Yep. Whatever is currently on the prohibited chem/bio list.

4. I already did the hippy girl's Mom about 40 years ago I think. IF I did her daughter, I sure wouldn't let you watch and I don't film so you'll have to take my word for it.

So, we got a bet or not?

Yeah, it was FUNNY. They'd all come to protest when we had drill in our uniforms. Catcalls and cr*p from the sidelines.

Then drill is over and we'd leave with some of their women.

Blank stares under their beaded headbands as we walked off with their girl. Some moments are priceless.

:D

45 dollars is plenty. That’s 3 months of aces high for your friend.

Sorry, that’s a violation of the bet. Must be within two weeks of surrender. Can’t have this thing dragging out you can’t win on a technicality. There must be specifics.

Agreed. But it has to be this stuff.. Not chemicals that can be mixed.. or duel use chemicals. Delivery systems don’t count either as they can be duel use for conventional weapons.

So.. your saying the girl above is your long lost daughter?.. My God Man! that’s incest!.. have you no morals?... Hey... what’s your daughter doin’ at a protest rally?.. See, that’s what happens when you don’t have a strong conservative male in the household.

Nash- Good punches there.. I forgot to give you credit last night.. good work!.

Poor ole’ Toad.. he’s up against Progressives that scored good marks on the High school debate team.

Toad, I also went to Catholic school...

10Bears, I gotta laugh. I think Nash and I are pretty much on the same page overall. Guess you don't see it.

OK, here's the bet:

$45 (or more if you like.)


1. Use of chem/bio weapons during the combat phase means I win. Finding chem/bio weapons with 3 months after cessation of hostilities means I win.

(Sorry, but you know 2 weeks isn't long enough for Blix and crew to unpack their underwear and this stuff is obviously pretty well hidden. It's going to take a little time to get the collaborators to come forward and lead the way. I doubt Iraqis are going to want to spill the beans until they're quite sure the Hussein days are over.)

Three months, that's the bet. Hey, it's taken them 12 YEARS to get this far.

2. It's gotta be Blix and crew OR his UN appointed follow-on. We don't know; Blix might quit in disgust if the war starts or something.  So, make it a UN sponsored investigator or something.

3. Any chem/bio weaponry or components that are on the prohibited list counts. You're saying they have nothing on the prohibited list, I'm saying they do.

After all, this war is about them not 'fessing up to what they have that is on the list. If they have the prohibited precursor chemicals to VX for example... bingo, I win.

4. The hippy girl is out of it. I figured you just tossed her in there so you'd have a bolt hole to avoid paying when you lost.

She isn't my daughter but she sure looks like a potential momma I used to run around with back in the "make love, not war" days.

Now, you in or you running away?
