World Cup merchandising has gone too far.
It's like that time I was given a week's worth of bottled farts for Christmas.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

The fact that we left an Iraqi chemical weapons complex (from Saddams days) intact before we left is somewhat of a wtf for me, I mean seriously, is there a point to not destroying it?

This was discussed over in the terrified thread. Basically the reason is that it takes a heck of a long time to finish disposing of chemical weapons in a safe and effective manner.

In other words, they just didn't finish, most likely.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I don't know if they already removed the equipment or not, but even old contaminated weapons are useful for them....

They could bomb the place, but then again, it might just cause an even bigger mess that needs to be cleaned up.

FALSE

Planetary orbits are elipsis, not circles!

I am sure if we really looking into it, it would be neither.

In fact I cannot remember the EXACT phrase for their movement. Basically wobbly.

Just encase the chemical weapons in lead and dump them in the ocean. Because screw the ocean.

No, do it the dwarfy way and throw them into a volcano. Also, you're mixing radioactive weapons vs chemical weapons.

Out of curiousity, is there any particular reason why that ISN'T a popular method of hazardous waste disposal?

Probably because its a pain in the ass to get them safely to the volcano. And volcanoes have a tendency to spit up their contents, directly into the atmosphere.

I said 'do it the dwarfy way' for a reason. That I obviously wasn't being serious.

And burning highly volatile and dangerous chemicals is probably not always a good idea either.
