[Rhodes22-list] Fwd: Hello from Iraqi Kurdistan!

What do you call 500 rounds of Chemical Munitions, if not  WMD?

Philip
 
Well, it depends.  It might be white phosphorous, in which case I'd  call it 
a pyrotechnic.  Right?  But whatever it was, it wasn't  much.
 
But your post did trigger a thought.  How many rounds of chemical  munitions 
do you suppose we have?  Oh yeah, count pyrotechnics and special  munitions.  
So you certainly wouldn't mind if the PRC decided to invade us,  liberate us 
as it were from our prejudices and our WMD.  Right?  Turn  about is fair play, 
right?  And you would be only too happy if they blew up  your house, killed 
your family, shot your son and/or daughter that had been  conscripted into the 
Army,  whatever - hey it's the price of liberation,  you wouldn't mind would 
you?  And because you are an open minded fellow,  unlike your liberal brethren, 
you wouldn't think of taking up arms to get even  and kick the bas****  outta 
here - would you?  No, never.  You  would be pleased that they were here and 
you would be absolutely thrilled at the  prospect of learning Chinese culture 
and laws, and adopting institutions  that work in China, all at the point of 
their guns.  Please think  about this; maybe, in some small way, you will begin 
to understand what we have  put these people through and begin to understand 
their reaction.
