Is the Army missing some nerve gas?

Pentagon auditors concede that is a remote possibility because of discrepancies in records between how much chemical weapons agent was initially stored and how much of it was later destroyed at Utah's Deseret Chemical Depot and other bases nationwide.

But officials believe all the nerve agent in question was destroyed, according to a partially censored U.S. Army Audit Agency report obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. Auditors list in it several reasons that could have caused apparent-but-unreal variances in those records.

But auditors concluded, "The (Army Chemical Materials) Agency didn't have complete assurance that amounts recorded in the system were accurate, which increased its chances for heightened levels of program scrutiny by federal, state and international organizations that have a vested interest in the elimination of chemical weapons."

2. Yet when Saddam Hussein insisted all Iraq's nerve agent was destroyed, America laughed.

And invaded.

And slaughtered.



What really amazes me is how most of the entire world views America as the biggest hypocrite on the planet. Dunno how come they think that.

3. Breaking News: Weapons of Mass Destruction Finally Found in Iraq!

TALL AFAR, IRAQ (Spurious News Network) -- US Army troops who had taken up residence in an abandoned Iraqi ammo bunker today revealed they had discovered Saddam Hussein's long-rumored cache of chemical warfare agents.

"My eyes must be going on me," said Capt. John Ericsson, commander of the 543d Transportation Company. "We've been living in this bunker for the last three months, and we've probably been through it a hundred times. Today, we went out on a mission, and when we got back we found all this stuff."

The "stuff" Capt. Ericsson was referring to is a stockpile of over a ton of nerve agent left over from the deposed regime of the late Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein.

"There are a couple things we really don't understand about this, though. When we got home, the lock was broken off the door. Nothing seems to be missing, so we're sure it wasn't looters. There were some tire tracks from a big truck leading up to our door. There are tire tracks from a C-130 about a quarter-mile away. The forklift we keep in the bunker as a spare had a full tank of fuel, but now it's bone dry and it's in a different place from where we left it. And all the labels on the nerve agent are written in English. Needless to say, we're currently in the process of moving to a bunker half a mile down the road because none of us wants to bunk with 2300 pounds of freakin' Nerve Gas!"

In other military news, 2300 pounds of nerve gas, a five-ton truck and a C-130 are missing from military bases in Utah.

4. Could this be what Cheney was referncing when he threatened us with an attack recently?

Amazing, how if such a "terrorist" nerve gas attack happens NO ONE in the M$M will DARE to connect THOSE dots.

Why, a person could get a bad performance review and lose their raise for asking such impolite questions!

What has this country become, and is their any chance Obama can stop the Bushies from finally sezing total control of America?

I hope. It's possible. We'll see.
