We Found The Weapons of Mass Destruction
Four years later. Made with the stuff you put in pools.
BAGHDAD, March 17 — The American military command said today that two Iraqi police officers were killed on Friday and more than 350 people wounded or sickened in three suicide attacks in Anbar Province using trucks filled with chlorine gas.
Insurgents began combining explosives with chlorine gas and other chemicals earlier this year in an effort to sow more fear and havoc among the civilian population, military officials say. Before Friday, there had been at least three similar chlorine attacks since late January that sickened scores of Iraqis, and American military officials had warned that militants were likely to keep using the tactic.
This is just the beginning of cheap, homemade chemical weapons that elements of the insurgency will only improve upon. And this technique will be exporting through the underground of global terrorism.
A lot of Bush defenders say that we cannot leave Iraq because we will create a haven for terrorism.
We already have.
