Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

The revolution will be supervised.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Everybody saw this coming.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Sarin Gas in Fallujah

This post is in: 

I have received numerous emails about the discovery of Sarin gas in Fallujah, yet I have see nothing in the press. Most of the emails link to this Flash presentation in USA Today. Load the presentation and look at picture #2.

However, pretty much nothing shows up in Google News. Some audio links from NPR from an embed with the Marines that supposedly found the suspect vials, a brief mention from General Richard Meyers, and a dismissal from the odious hacks at AntiWar.Com.

Anyone have anything else? And why in the hell does google news count the AntiWar.Com weblog as a ‘news’ source?

    The Christian Science Monitor and NPR reported on the Sarin Vials Last Friday. The CSM reported that “further analysis determined that the find was probably part of a Soviet test kit with samples.” I posted about it on Friday and again on Wednesday when Power Line put up the USA Today photo.

    There is a series of 14 pictures at Getty Images showing Marines from the 1st U.S Marines Expeditionary Force, Nuclear, biological and Chemical Incident Response Force conducting tests on the vials. I linked to the site at California Yankee.

    There was the roadside IED done earlier this year with what was confirmed to be a Soviet binary-type nerve gas shell.

    For the 99 percent of you who have no idea what one of those is:

    You put the two halves of the chemical weapon mix in two seperate compartments in the shell, then fire it. They mix on impact. Much safer for the people who have to handle and store it prior to firing it. Iraq and Iran fired tons of these things at each other 80-88, and not inconceivable they still had a few laying around.

    The standard TTP (technique, tactic, procedure) for an Iraqi insurgent IED is to take an old arty shell, wire it with time fuze or a command detonator jammed down the old screw-in fuze well at the nose of the shell, and then blow it. In Mosul, where I was, it was mostly 60mm and 82mm mortar shells as they were easier to carry. A 152mm arty shell weighs over a hundred pounds, y’know.

    Probably Haji didn’t even know what he had at the time, as a lot of who we’re fighting over there are not really professional types. Just saying there are a lot of unexplored holes out there in the desert….
