King Abdullah said it was nerve gas, I was quoting him. If it turned out not to be, okay, I was wrong and so was he. If that report is right, it also contradicts earlier reports which said that the trucks came over the border loaded for action.

I am starting to wonder whether you are deliberately twisting this to suit your rhetorical purpose. This is really something. The "only agricultural chemicals" line makes me wonder what rhetorical purpose you might have. Nowhere have you nor I seen what kind of chemicals were involved, their relative concentration, and how they react in the presence of other agents. For this reason, the fact that no one knows the nature of these chemicals, not in these forums, anyway, I have been silent on the issue, though I have read with increasing amusement your exchange with a farmer who is familiar on a first-hand basis with how deadly some of these chemicals in concentrated form can be. Despite this utter and complete lack of knowledge about the nature of the chemicals, we do know that they were planned for a substantial attack in Amman. That fact seems to be fairly well-established, though I wouldn't bet my retirement fund on it.
