re:Gas can kill painlessly and that's not barbaric.

Are you friggin out of your mind? Gassing people to death is not barbaric? It's against the Geneva Convention because it's barbaric and when Saddam used it against the Kurds every RWer in the country jumped up and down screaming barbarism.....

Dear Thomas: I didnt actually see the reference speech but I dont know what they would do with Gasoline in these huge cave complexes. In a smaller area I can see the possibility of pouring it in and lighting it to snuff out the oxygen but dont see how that would work in this situation. I imagin he is referring to some type of incapacitating gas (I use the term Tear Gas to cover the field). Some here seem to think he mean something outlawed by the Geneva Convention such as Nerve gas or so, but I would not believe that was his thought, nor would I think its really necessary. jdn

I heard that they were going to try and smoke them out by using stink bombs. They experimented by using sheep farts on some captured prisoners, but found that it only gave them erections, so they scrapped the idea.
