As I recall, this stuff was inactive after a certain amount of time. I am off to work but will check later. Some of us have to work.

Since you assume I don't work, I'll try to help you out. Can't quite tell from this how much being in a shell for years may or may not decrease it's effectiveness. Sounds like it needs exposure to the elements and then it's very short-lived. How harmful depends on amount of exposure.

http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/sarin/basics/facts.asp

Sarin is the most volatile of the nerve agents, which means that it can easily and quickly evaporate from a liquid into a vapor and spread into the environment. People can be exposed to the vapor even if they do not come in contact with the liquid form of sarin.

Because it evaporates so quickly, sarin presents an immediate but short-lived threat.

http://www.terrorismanswers.org/weapons/sarin.html

An improvised explosive device containing sarin was found near the Baghdad International Airport and detonated by U.S. forces, military spokesman Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt said May 17. Officials suspect the sarin found in the Baghdad bomb was from Saddam Hussein’s stockpile. Two members of the U.S. bomb squad were treated for minor exposure and released. Officials say the explosive was meant to be fired as an artillery round and was much less effective as a roadside bomb. However, they say the sarin-laced bomb may prove that Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons when the United States invaded last year.

Even if this was there, the fact remains that our evidence at the time we went to war said that there was no evidence of WMD at that time, and an extension of the investigators into this would have given time to find out if there were. There was no reason to rush into this war with the information we had at that time. All the claims by Powell and Bush that we had them were not known facts and unproven at that time. It was said to convince congress and the American people that there was a reason to rush into a war. It was not. And whatever has since been found in another country or on its way out of Iraq was not either.

Yup, gosh darn the President, he should have gotten up, and ordered.....What?

Did we know who was responsible that minute?

Did we know how many other planes in the air had highjackers aboard?

Did the FDNY need Bush to tell them their job?

Did the Aviation Dept need Bush to tell them to go ahead and make contact with all planes in the air?

What was it that Bush didn't do that had a negative impact on the events on 9/11 because 'time was of the essence'? Or do you still not know? Just throwing darts and trying to make something stick? It's just more of the baseless, if I say it long enough, it'll become true, negative hype and rhetoric.

Thanks for that. It's more cleared up now. I wasn't sure what all was going on with that except I've been hearing votes for Nader will go to Bush and all that. Thanks. XOXO.

You make my point for me. When the second tower was hit we knew it was not an accident. We knew it was an attack. We did not know, he did not know who was responsible, and he needed to know. When the country is attacked

Sorry if this is a little off-topic but i think this kind of thing is MUCH more clever than Farenheit style filmmaking (see link below) Funny, and yet totally serious at the same time!

This whole country has been hijacked, and not by Al Quaeda...

If your only 'point' is suggest that there were questions without answers that we weren't going to get in the next 10 minutes unless the President asked them, and if your point is that the emergency personnel and our federal agencies and military could not function without the President telling them to do their job, then I guess I made your point. But then, I don't understand why you aren't supporting Bush when you appearantly think he so omnicient and powerful. : )

So, what was the President going to do that would have changed the course of history that day? Maybe I should stop asking since it would seem that with the silence on that question, you don't have an answer.

I have answered this question so many times that I am tired of it. Figure it out. He has powers that any president has and that are exclusive to the person holding that office. The fact that Bush has these powers just scares the crap out of me.
