Re: "...Perhaps Hussein was using the three trucks capable of assembling poison gases to sell ice cream...."

>>> On this particular point, she sounds totally confused and adrift.

>>> No one in the US military or Intelligence has claimed that these trucks were designed for generating "poison gas" (they had none of the necessary laboratory equipment for chemical synthesis).

>>> What they have claimed is that the trucks were capable of producing biological agents (although, so far, there is no evidence they were ever used for this purpose).

>>> On-the-other-hand, the CIA has stated that these trucks could only grow a 'wet slurry'... and lacked the necessary drying facilities necessary to weaponize biological agents.

>>> However, the trucks would be capable of fullfilling the role Iraqis have claimed for them: to produce hydrogen gas in remote regions for launching military observation balloons.

>>> Whatever they were biological fermenters for weapons or hydrogen production (I personally lean towards biological agents)... they weren't labs for advanced chemical synthesis.

>>> Coulter must have never taken chemistry OR biology....
