Now they say it may not be Sarin.

Also, crucifixes, Holy Water, and transubstantiated bread and wine would definitely qualify as weapons of mass destruction. See, Midnight Mass. :p Black Wind - Kenji - 05-23-2004 This is Japanes edition cover. Black Wind - jimbow8 - 05-23-2004 Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Poison gasses are most certainly WMD. Is there real debate about that?I would say there is debate about it. You did ask the question, after all. It depends on how much of it they find. If they only find traces of it in a few shells, do you really consider that WMD? I think more info is required.

Not particular to the Western Front 1917 nor Iraq 2004. Black Wind - Bluesman Mike Lindner - 05-24-2004 Biggles Wrote:No question in my mind.

As I see it, WMD is a newly invented term, and the definition has yet to be solidified. So far, it means anything the politicians want it to mean -- kinda like "Wet Lands." Ken V.

So far, it means anything the politicians want it to mean -- kinda like "Wet Lands." I see your point, Ken, but still it seems a useful term--nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, biological weapons...indiscriminant. (And yeah, I know area bombing is too. Maybe the difference is there's no real defense against so-called WMD.)

(And yeah, I know area bombing is too. Maybe the difference is there's no real defense against so-called WMD.) The way I read it, "Weapons of Mass Destruction," is something that other countries have. American politicians don't refer to this countries stocks of Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological weapons as WMD's. Why is that? Ken V. |
