Mass destruction?
So, the chlorine truck bomb killed 27 people. Brutal, shameful, senseless, yes. But mass destruction? Not at all.
The characterization of WMD is part and parcel of the lies the pro-war faction is constantly using. Would chlorine gas be a horrible way to die? Definitely. But calling this attack a WMD is an absolute and utter lie.
The US has many different kinds of weapons that kill far more than 27 people at a time. If this argument is taken to its logical conclusion, the US military has used far more WMDs in Iraq than the "enemy" has. But anyone saying that would be branded a traitor by these same shrill liars.
