If those trucks had been filled with high explosives the death toll could have been staggering. That's why even though the Germans invented Sarin gas they decided not to use it. Hitler's generals convinced him that HE was far more effective in causing deaths, not to mention that all the poison gas in the world can't destroy material objects. That said, gas IS a good terror weapon because most people have a more innate terror of being gassed than of being blown up or shot. But I think the more they use chlorine the less the terror effect will be. Exactly right on chlorine. If those trucks had been filled with high explosives the death toll could have been staggering.

We need to kill or arrest Sadr; should have a long time ago. Attacking the enemy is the best way to win a war. May I boil down the last paragraph?
