Yeah, that's just what the residents need - candy. Anyone want to bet that some of that white powdery stuff might be laced? "Here Mr Nice US Marine, have some Candy..." Or is Saddam just trying to bait the coalition forces into stopping aid conveys for propaganda value? _________________________ Mk2a 60GB Blue. Serial 030102962 sig.mp3: File Format not Valid.

But still, the thought of fine white powders being transported must be a worry for the Pentagon. Curiously enough, I've just seen the following flash past at CNN (paraphrased), "Centcom says that it's concerned that biochemical WMD may be used further south than at first thought". _________________________ Mk2a 60GB Blue.

This is simply propoganda to counter the western (not just US) media reports of the horror being done to Iraqi citizens by Iraqi soldiers. I gaurentee that any convoy of trucks moving on any road will be a pile of melted metal if it did go anywhere. _________________________ Brad B.
