		<description>They arent kids, it is part of their job description and there are some who enjoy going over there because you get payed extra.  

It wasnt a lie, we went in on the possability of weapons, not the guarantee of weapons.  THe possability alone is enough to go in.</description>

		<description>This old, turn 60 this year, former Marine, Viet Nam vet, has a cooment for you all. Every one of them younger than mid 40's could be my kid. They are ALL kids who are have to go and die for a damned lie!
OUR kids are being killed for the lies of this criminal administration. And I don't care how you try to dress that one up!

		<description>"Since this administration is holding back information so greatly, theres no way we can make a decision on the war before a new president takes office, That decision would be based on the lack of information this administration is known for"  

Here I quote myself, Lawhobbit seems to think i trust the current administration, this is not the case however.  I know they have lied to us and kept back all sorts of information, they have hampered decision-making abilities by doing this.  

I simply ask the question "how are we to make the correct decision now under these cercumstances?"</description>

		<description>Are you done now lawhobbit?  I dont see where this is going, we are rambling in a random direction which has nothing to do with why i came here and its completely off-topic.

I came here to say 

"The best thing we the people can do in this situation is vote for the candidate with the best morals and character. So at least we know that honest decissions are being made at the highest level. "

Lawhobbit doesnt agree with that statement so instead tries to turn the debate into a mud-slinging contest, rittled with personal attacks.</description>

		<description>Depending on where a terrorist injects the cyanide is the main factor in an attack such as this.  You wouldnt go down to NYC's rezervoir and inject it there, by the time it passed through all the pipes to the city dilution would have taken place.  So to counteract this, you inject in in the pipes directly near or inside of the city itself.</description>

		<description>It would take about 6 trucks full of cynide to have 100,000 gallons.  That = 378,541,180 grams.  50 grams is enough to kill a person. If you inject this into a water supply the effects would be "more bang for the buck" as you say ,compared to buying a nuke.</description>

		<description>Lawhobbit you missed the concept,  If you took 10000 gallons of cynide it would be cheaper than buying a nuke on the blackmarket.</description>

		<description>No Frank, you can't, because the amount of cyanide needed to make that happen would require a long chain of dump trucks working for days.  Again demonstrating why you're a poster child for the adjective "blithering."

I also note you're again passing on answering not terribly difficult questions, content to rest in the darkness of your ignorance.  :D

PS:  This is called "Socratic Method," wherein I attempt (with obvious limited luck) to get you to answer the questions and thus educate yourself.  Clearly a method unsuitable for one such as yourself who prefers to have his thoughts handed to him by others, but it's early in the day and I can allow myself a modicum of hope.  :D</description>

		<description>"PS: Your bit about propane not being deadly is laughable in its demonstration of your ongoing ignorance. Further bonus points to the pop quiz above: What’s an FAE and why does the military love them?"

You cant go down to the store and turn a propane tank into a thermobaric weapon with hime-made materials.  Thats not possible, propane sold at local stores in in a gasseous state, where-as to be used in a thermobaric bomb it has to be in liquid state.</description>

		<description>I could use your logic to come up with this statement.

"Terrorists can put cynide in your water supply for a much cheaper price than a nuclear attack"  Therefor we shouldnt worry about a nuclear attack."</description>

		<description>Duh.  You make yourself look stupid just fine.  I just point out the bits others might have missed.  :P

Hey - let's try again, just for giggles:  How do you disperse mustard gas for maximum effect against personnel?  Bonus points for describing an effective methodology for getting that delivery system into a subway.  You do not have to phrase your answer in the form of a question.

		<description>You pointing out that terrorists can get this stuff on the open market doesnt make me stupid ok. They didnt only use mustard gas in the iraq-iran war, g-series and h-series gasses were also used.  If chlorine gas was more deadly that mustard,g-series,and h-series gasses why does the military not use chlorine gas bombs instead?  The answer is simple, chlorine gas and propane bombs arent as deadly.  The goal is to prevent terrorists from getting a hold of more deadly substances.</description>

		<description>I suppose we could ask Our Gentle Host to put up a poll, asking the question "Is Frank Ignorant?"  It'd be interesting to see where the jury would come back on it.

But Frank, whatever makes you "think" (and in your case I use the term loosely) that terrorists (defined here as "people who don't like us invading their countries and killing them) would only be able to get chemical weapons (US surplus, in most cases) from Iraq?  The things sell on the open market.  And the reason it's horribly irrelevant, except for purposes of scaring the bejeebers out of the ignoratti like yourself is because chemical weapons are not weapons of "mass destruction."  The things are incredibly hard to use, as anybody with any NBC (that's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical for those of you like Frank without real military experience) training can tell you.

Frank, buddy, you can go down to the local Safeway and pick up a bunch of goodies to produce chlorine gas.  Right over the counter.  And making other chemical goodies is not that much harder.

For that matter, you'd get a lot better bang for your buck just setting off a propane bomb in a subway.

Nope, chemical weapons are only scary to the ignorant.  And since you're afraid of them and refusing to be educated.....the conclusion is obvious.  Ignorance is curable.  Stupid is a way of life and forever.  :D

Finally, what part of "I'm just here to play hacky-sack with your pathetic ego" did you not understand?  I'm not here to debate, argue, or educate you - you've made it clear you're not amenable.  I'm here to kick you around for laughs until either I or Our Gentle Host gets tired of it.  You're presuming I'm treating you as a thoughtful adult.  Trust me - I'm not. :P</description>

		<description>You are confused and shake your head saying "frank, frank, frank..... you ust dont get it."   

It is obvious you are saying nothing that is possible to get.  Should i "get" your presonal attacks? if you want me to understand your viewpoint please state it without the childish remarks.</description>
