Could have exported it from Syria? Assuming it is Sarin.

1. Syria has a chemical weapons program
and it produces chemical weapons. probably why Israel hasn`t attacked Syria ,it would be nukes against chemical weapons and the deaths of hundreds of thousands on each side...

3. Then this Sarin weapon (assuming it is) could be Syrian or...
Russian. How the hell can they now say "we found the WMDs?"

4. Well if you really wanna blow your mind
take a drive through the Umatilla Weapons Center in Northeastern Oregon, little south of me. its the "Walmart" of chemical weapons. I tried to find you some pictures but its gettin' harder to find anything out about that place because they have so many problems. I know the last time I drove through, when you look out all you see is miles and miles of buried bunkers with steel doors. Stuff's been leaking for years. A true cold war relic, just like reagan.

5. Well, the US has over 5,000 tons of the stuff in storage . . . .
Even Fox says so:

"The United States began developing sarin as part of its chemical weapons program in the 1950s; it now has more than 5,000 tons of the substance. Russia has about 11,700 tons. "

6. How about Israel?
I bet they got lots of the stuff. Not that they would ever admit it.

7. "The home of WMD!"
Here is a great website with much good info on our own WMD programs! Some stunning information about American POWs being used in experiments by the USSR and other countries!

8. i don't think counties should be arming
themselves with this stuff...i just don't trust county commissioners to not 'push the button.'

Sorry...couldn't resist...

9. it was preiraq 1 war, the sarin was too old to do damage
iraq didnt mark their weapons and it was just amongst other weapons. an old old weapon. it is not a deal a conspiracy or a threat. they should find them here and there, it is expected and it doesnt mean saddam was a threat with them and we needed to go to war

this is NOT the wmd cache find. i dont want to mske it that way like they are trying to do

they treated the two that got contaminated, they know what it was and how effective it was to treat the men. this is all a game
