Syria about to get real ugly

[ignerntbend]

Did we help out in Libya or Egypt? I thought we pretty much stood on the sidelines and watched.

Most activly in Libya. No-fly zone and all that. We should impose a No-Fly Zone untill we did,and then we shouldn't have.
It was in all the papers.

As far as I can see the sixty day window is only popping up in the Fox story (so far)
Maybe its just the language that I have trouble with. If it isn't used in sixty days it'll have to be destroyed?
Why destroyed? If it's rendered harmless in sixty days why not just dump it out in the street?

Just read my earlier post.
Battery acid in its purest form will cook your skin. With time, it will be less acidic. I still wouldn't want the weak version on my skin.
I'm not sure the news people have a clue, no matter what their political affiliation.

You might think that, but you'd be wrong.

I understood what you said about the half life of this stuff. The only thing that I would dispute about the Fox story is that some kind of sixty day doomsday clock has been activated like in GoldFinger or some other James Bond movie.

This.

And I found it absolutely hysterical someone above was correcting the spelling of sarin and the correction was even wrong. Priceless!

If you thought that was funny, then you will love this. I was talking about saran wrap. I figured the "land fill and trash heap" reference would have given it away.
Should i have used italics do denote sarcasm?

What y'all have failed to realize is that the Earth itself expires on the 21st (16 days) so either this is part of it or irrelevant.

Ahhh well, maybe that was it, then. I did note it was spelled like Saran Wrap, but didn't realize it was intentional. My bad. I'm only on my 14th 12-hour shift out of 15 days... got 6 more in a row. Better make some stronger coffee. 240 hours in 3 weeks... I feel like I'm back in residency again.


Except for the paycheck, and the damn taxes that go with it!

If the Syrians wrap their Sarin formula in Saran wrap to keep it fresh then either spelling version would work?

 

[Hobbes]

If the Syrian military is smart they will mix their binary nerve agents over time, a little bit one day and a little bit the next day.
That way it won't all expire at the same time.

It's kind of like building a CD ladder.

The Saran locks in freshness? Is that what your saying? Could the Saran extend the bomb life of the Sarin beyond sixty days?
