Truck With Chlorine Blown Up In Iraq.

  Iraqi Insurgents blew up  another truck carrying chlorine gas containers on Wednesday making this the second time in two days.

   Those darned insurgents are getting mighty crafty as of late and I'll bet that their resolve is leaving a bad taste in Bush's mouth. Wait a minute. What was I thinking here? Bush and the rest of the Bush Crime Family probably like this mess happening as it gives the clan another reason to come up an excuse for staying the course. I can hear it now:

   "We must stay committed to the citizens of Iraq so that we can not only help them form a Democracy, but to help them to become chemically free and independent!"

Military officials worry extremists may have recently gained more access to firepower such as shoulder-fired anti-aircraft rockets and heavy machine guns — and more expertise to use them. The Black Hawk would be at least the eighth U.S. helicopter to crash or be taken down by hostile fire in the past month.

The gas cloud in Baghdad, meanwhile, suggests possible new and coordinated strategies by bombers trying to unleash toxic — and potentially deadly — materials. "Terrorists are using dirty means," said Brig. Gen. Qassim Moussawi, an Iraqi military spokesman.

Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a U.S. military spokesman, said initial reports indicated the chopper was brought down by "small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades" north of Baghdad, but gave no further details. All nine aboard were taken away on a rescue helicopter, he said.
