    Insurgents Using Chem Weapons - On Themselves?

    This has to be the most bizarre twist in the WMD saga yet. Insurgents in Iraq could very well have chemical weapons. And they may be using them - on themselves.


    The story starts over a year ago with a Marine blogger in Iraq. On June 2nd 2004 "The Green Side" - we’ll get back to the signficance of this source later - describes suicidal attacks by insurgents in Fallujah: “We could not understand why they kept coming but they did.” The reason, it turned out, was drugs: “…these ‘holy warriors’ are taking drugs to get high before attacks. It true, as we pushed into the town in April many Marines came across drug paraphernalia (mostly heroin). Recently, we have gotten evidence of them using another drug BZ that makes them high and very aggressive.”

    LOL...how is this remotely related to WMDs???
    How are drugs considered to be chemical weapons!?!?!?
    Then we have serious problems here whenever somebody rolls up a joint here in the states.

    They use the term chemical weapons and WMD simply because it sounds better. Headline titles don't have to be true, they don't even have to relate to the actual news. They just need to draw attention.

    figure youd need to be in an altered state of mind to do something like that.
