    When WMD's first came up the talk and the examples were nuclear and dirty bombs. Remember the talk of yellow cake which is a not well refined uranium ore. Once there was no evidence of nucleat WMD's then it was but but but but they poison gas. Yes poison gas in large quantities can constitute a WMD.

    The existence of WMD's is not liberal or conservative. The existence either is or is not.

    Well I wouldn't tell the 5000 Kurds who died from gas attacks that it wasn't serious.

    I did not say that it was 't serious did I! You know that I did not. The poison gas attack-Genocide against the Kurds occurred after the first Gulf war when we stopped or pulled back to the Kuwaiti border. During the Iraq war Sadam did not dare use the poison gas or bio or chem weapons he knew that we still had Tac Nukes on the arsenal and we could have wiped his grinning butt off the face of the earth is small patches. We still had Tac Nukes on our Iowa class battlewagons during the first Gulf war butbwe did not use them back then either.

    I have been an advocate of letting the Kurds have there own country of Kurdistan but that would piss off the Turks, Syrians, Iranians, and the Arab Iraqis. But I said iss them off let the Kurds have their country just as everyone should. At this point the Russians would be against an independent Kurdistan as they are against an independent Chechenya.

    Well the origina Silk Road website had a total exchange of over 500 million dollars worth of BTC at the time, and that got shut down how many years ago?

    Now we have dozens of sites like it, + the people who just use hookups in other states to mail them stuff (The biggest portion of the shipping).

    Yes we would be because it would be Trump's fault if we are ever under a nuclear attack, he's such an idiot that he's made the entire world hate us.

    Go ahead, prove it to us.

    You're joking I hope. Canadians hate Trump, Aussies hate Trump, Germany hates Trump, Great Britain hates Trump. France hates Trump. The only ones that don't hate Trump are the Saudis and Putin. Go ahead, read what the leaders of the free world think about Trump......

    Yeah, not seeing the hate there.

    Not liking Trump isn't the same as hating America you know.

    lol

    And why do you care so much what other nations think....why aren't you concerned that your president doesn't like them either?

    That sounds traitorous to me.

    You'd rather side with other nations over America.

    You're in denial and don't see things from a logical viewpoint. But it doesn't really matter what your opinion is of how the world views us, but they're laughing at the imbecile our people elected. The US has lost the respect of world leaders, there's no doubt about it. NO, I'd rather side with the USA as it should be, a democratic republic and not a banana republic this narcissistic evil dictator wants it to be

    You don't even know what a banana republic is.

    How embarrassing for you.

    Would you like me to explain it to you so you don't misuse that term in the future?

    That's so cute. Yes, I know a lot more than you do, that's for sure. If you don't know the first thing about the relationships Trump has with global leaders by now, then you're just not paying attention.

    Not this crap again! Sarin has a shelf life of a few weeks so perhaps you could explain how it was still viable in those rusted missiles.

    Rubbish. Bacteria grown in a petri dish can be just as dangerous as ricin. Ricin is the bogeyman often used as a distraction aimed at the press. FBI don't have the resources and have better things to do than investigating the millions of people who search the internet for how to make <insert words>

    I read of an incident using ricing in a very dangerous form, mixed into dimethyl sulfoxide. It could simply be splashed on bare skin and be absorbed. *from wiki, below*

    Medicine[edit]
    Use of DMSO in medicine dates from around 1963, when an Oregon Health & Science University Medical School team, headed by Stanley Jacob, discovered it could penetrate the skin and other membranes without damaging them and could carry other compounds into a biological system. In medicine, DMSO is predominantly used as a topical analgesic, a vehicle for topical application of pharmaceuticals, as an anti-inflammatory, and an antioxidant.[19] Because DMSO increases the rate of absorption of some compounds through organic tissues, including skin, it is used in some transdermal drug delivery systems. Its effect may be enhanced with the addition of EDTA. It is frequently compounded with antifungal medications, enabling them to penetrate not just skin but also toenails and fingernails.

    No apologies needed. Was that a recent death by poison bumbershoot case? During the Soviet days when the Warsaw Pac /Iron Curtain was alive thevSoviets used Bulgarians to perform the KGB murders for them and bomber shoots were the popular instrument of destruction.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgi_Markov. I don't know what a bomber shoot is. The cold war was just a little bit before my time. I was born in '86

    I heard that the evidence was sent to Quantico where more definitive tests will be performed to eliminate the possibility of false positives.
