Yeah, right, we went to IRaq to liberate those hapless folks...most rightwingers hate arabs, so their motives are evil... Actions raise ire of townspeople (By Stephen J. Glain and Ellen Barry, Globe Staff) FALLUJAH, Iraq - Coalition forces stepped up their counterinsurgency campaign yesterday with a multipronged raid on suspected Iraqi insurgents and illegal arms stores. The operation, however, seems to have generated as much antipathy as banned weapons and subversives. ''The US Army came here to liberate us, but now they search us in a disrespectful way,'' said 45-year-old Kemes Abd Salal, a retired Iraqi Army officer. ''They went from being a friend to an enemy in a few days.'' Recent US deaths in Iraq outnumber those in a year of occupying Afghanistan.

They could have just called it sodium or potassium hydroxide In a series of posts, among them this one: Message 19017276 I showed the trailers to be designed to produce high pressure gasses. One trailer produced hydrogen from an aluminum / acid reaction. The hydrogen could be used to fill balloons which checked wind direction for artillary fire. The second trailer, using identical equipment but different chemicals, produced pressurised nitrogen from the caustic compound sodium azide. This gas was used to blow dust and moisture from artillary firing mechanisms. These trailers are not mysterious at all and need to be mobile to stay with the artillary as it is moved. There is no biologic function whatsoever. TP
