Thread Name: BS: Iraq War Lies
Subject: RE: BS: Iraq War Lies
This is a question...I am not too savvy on these matters but I have to ask, as something that Bobert has brought up also, has been bothering me these last two days
"Im curious as to why more effort wasn't made to capture these guys"
Like I say I am ignorant on these matters so here goes, Does the Army have gases of some kind that could have rendered these people helpless...ie Tear gas or Calmative agents. If they do then maybe that way these Men could have been taken into custody and made to stand trial, which for the Iraqi people may have been a better way to see Jusitce done and also to gain useful information about Saddam Insane himself.
So are there non lethal gases of this nature that can be used legally in War or was it not an available option?
