Re Camp Falcon--Night before last talked to an Iraq War Vet
She had just returned from Iraq, and we chatted for about half an hour about conditions in general. She is National Guard and was in logistics and supply in central Iraq. She had also done convoy duty.

As she described it to me she was at an enormous supply dump receiving supplies, marshalling them and shipping them out. Her base was attacked by mortar rounds on average about 3 times a day. She said the conditions were incredibly sloppy and chaotic, and that drums of volatile chemicals and solvents, left out in the 130 degree weather, would often simply explode from the neglect. She said there were a lot of suicides by younger soldiers (she is early 40s).

She hadn't heard about the ammo explosion at Camp Falcon, but she was familiar with the base. When I told her about the explosions, she said she would have expected a lot of people to get killed or wounded.

What struck me most was the negligence she described in handling dangerous supplies (although not ammo) at her facility. Much of the argument that supports the official story is based on the notion that the military is extremely competent and careful when handling dangerous supplies, but this woman told a story of the exact opposite.

So are we supposed to believe an eyewitness over the corrupt media :sarcasm:

Actually the silence is deafning again. Just like the 5.5 tons of coke story last April which was directly connected to 9/11 and the CIA

3. A moron is a person who denies that that is NOT a WMD
It is either a nuclear weapon or a weapon comparable to a nuclear weapon. Either way it fits the definition of a Weapon of Mass Destruction.
