7/2 So, those sarin and mustard shells... They dated from the 80s.
2 of the 18 contained cylosarin. The rest contained nothing.
Rumsfeld said the Polish defense minister told him this
week "that his troops in Iraq had recently come across
-- I've forgotten the number, but something like 16 or
17 -- warheads that contained sarin and mustard gas."
Rumsfeld added: "I have not seen them and I have not
tested them, but they believe that they are correct that
these, in fact, were undeclared chemical weapons."
Watch that spin!
\_ So the cumulative total that we know about is: 2 cyclosarin,
2 sarin IED, 1 mustard gas, various nuclear reactor
components, missile technology.
\_ Two sarin IED? Mustard? Didn't the lab tests come up
negative on those? "Various nuclear reactor components"
you are kidding, right? You mean the parts buried in some
guys garden back in 1991 and forgotten about? You are
really reaching here. Just as I thought, googling indicated
that the mustard had decayed over time and was inert.
JUST LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE THE WAR.
\_ Googling? You found an anti-Bush blog? I didn't need
Google to find that.
\_ Where are the references to your mustard, then? All
the stuff I can find was tested as inert.
\_ Let's not forget the timestamps on each. All are from 1980-
1988. How's that reprocessing coming along in NK?
\_ Pretty good I imagine considering they started in
the early '90s.
\_ Oh look, it's a liberal masturbation session on the
motd!
\_ what are you going to do with North Korea and
Pakistein, then? *NOTHING*
\_ Well, we're not going to turn a blind eye through
the entire 1990's while NK built up their nukes.
\_ What does the date matter?
\_ date matters because we knew about Saddam's chemical
and biological weapon back in the 1980s, and we gave
the blessing to use them against Iranians. Our
original excuse to invade Iraq was that he made more
WMD and capable of use them in 45 minutes.
\_ Capable of use them? Are you for real?
\_ Um, no. Saddam had to declare or show proof that he
disposed of the weapons. No age was specified.
\_ Purpose of the weapons inspections was to determine
if he had developed WMD since containment began.
If the shells date pre-containment, then we have
reason to believe that containment was working,
and therefore WMD was not a legit reason to invade.
\_ Um, no. He was supposed to declare everything he
had, not everything he was making.
\_ Read between the lines. Look at the purpose,
not the letter. Look up from the trees some
time and see the forest.
\_ So it was ok if he had a few thousand tons
of old WMD hanging out as long as we knew
about them? You need to *find* the forest
before you start worrying about the trees.
\_ Intel directly after the first war
said that he had been more advanced than
they thought, but that the bombing
campaign had returned him to insigni-
ficant threat level for R&D and
production. Pre-2nd war inspections
were looking for evidence of further
developments. None were found. Also,
if he has/had 1k+ tons of WMD, that
would be significant; David Kay and
crew told us they did not.
\_ Intel? The same intel told us from
multiple countries that he had lots
this time around. |

7/2 Bush stoops to yet another new low. Hits up churches for names,
money, and votes: http://tinyurl.com/34v27
\- if you think this is a new low, you need to check your
altimeter.
\_ How is this any different than the DNC swapping donor
lists with unions and NPR?
\_ Unions pay taxes, churches do not.
\_ how about separation of church and state? unions have
always been political. NPR probably has an axe to grind
for republicans trying to silence an independent point-of-
view. Just shows how low Bush will go to be the prez.
\_ There is no such notion of 'separation of church in
state' in the Constitution. It is a contrivance of
leftist judges during the first half of the 20th
century. NPR receives federal funding, exclusive
of other news organizations.
\_ Duh, like the founders had things all figured out.
Take some civics lessons to know that the constitution
is a living document that can add rights and protections,
though, the "right" wants to abuse even the constitution
to limit certain people's rights - not even taken in
account the un-patriotic patriot act. sheesh.
\_ The document is not *living*. It says what it says and
has provisions for change. This is not the same as
*living* which really means "we make it say what we
want it to say".
\_ You are an idiot. I say this without malice, I just
think you should know. -cuhdz
\_ I think you are a cock-sucker. I think you already
know. Probably from spending too much time down
there in the "Bush"-es.
\_ Yes there is provision to change to Constitution. Its
It's _/
called an Amendment, and there are 17 of them. And
guess what else - judges were not designed as part
of the Amendment process, contrary to
what you see today.
\_ You mean like the dems' political rallies IN CHURCHES?
\_ thank you. jesus fucking christ this is a dumb thread.
it makes me ashamed to call myself a democrat. of
course democrats campaign in churches all the time.
Didn't anyone notice that one of the candidates in the
primary race was a reverend? hello?
\_ Dems=good, republicans=EEEVIIILL, everything repubs
do is bad. You are not being a good little CA dem.
if you think further than this.
\_ well, I don't live in California, so maybe that's
my problem. Where I live, the parties actually
get things done together from time to time.
\_ !!!! WHERE DO YOU LIVE?! I WANT TO GO THERE!
SEND HELP! --CA resident
\_ so. you want to move to a state with less
retarted politics, huh? ok, i'll give you
directions. get out a compas. go any
direction other than south or west, and you'll
be there.
\_ Can't your state just invade and bring
democracy to California? The weather is
so nice here. Democracy is the only thing
we're missing.
\_ California suffers from excess of
democracy, among other things. -- ilyas |

7/2 How do people pronounce C++'s "operator()"?
\_????? Do you mean you are overloading the empty constructor?
\_ Hi. You are stupid.
\_ Hi dickwad, how's how's life going being a constant
asshole? Anyway, I found the answer, it's called a
"function call operator" if OP meant foo(a,b). Since
OP was somewhat ambigious it could also refer to overloading
the cast operator.
\_ Actually, it couldn't. Unless OP didn't know what he
was talking about, of course. There seems to be a lot
of that going around.
\_ Agreed, since it would require the casting rvalue
notation in front of it to be overloading casting.
However, given the attitude of people on MOTD these
days they could've said "oh, well, what I meant
was..." and wiggle their way out of it. Anyway,
I certainly hope OP isn't overloading () on a regular
basis. Thanks for reminding me what a dog the
language of C++ is.
\_ Correction, /rvalue/type. |

7/3 Does Soda's spamd check against Razor and DCC? On my own server, I was
getting 20-30 spams per day and when I added DNS/RBL checks, now I get
about 2/week. I rarely get Spam on soda, so I'm guessing the answer is
yes.
\_ read the spamassassin score. the answer is there. |

7/3 I'm reviewing my credit report, and they mention a geographical code
(e.g, 0-49362310- 1-5335, some #s changed for privacy). What sort of
information does this encode? There's one for each of my addresses. |

7/3 Where can I find the video of Colin Powell's YMCA song performance
at the ASEAN security meeting in Jakarta on July 2nd?
\- google for "why_cooperation_with_the_state_dept_is_impossible.au"
\_ nothing comes up.
\- IAJS;YSTL: link:csua.org/u/81n
\_ Dude, wtf?
\_ Powell >>>> Gore. If you ever see the footage of Gore "dancing"
it's pretty bad. I didn't see anything wrong with what Powell was
doing, he was just having a good time in front of a crowd of Asians,
who have probably spent plenty of time in Karaoke bars ... |
