I still havn't seen an update from Hoft. If this is true--and I would not be surprised if it is---I expect it will be deeply buried in the American media, probably more likely to find it in the foreign press somewhere.
But, even if this is true, I seriously doubt this will change anything about the way the war is being fought. Obama doesn't care enough to get outraged by this---he probably thinks it is what the American troops deserve for acting so stupidly...

Meanwhile our troops can't even smoke some guy with binoculars directing mortar fire at their bases because he's not visibly carrying a weapon!!!!! It is IMPOSSIBLE, I mean IMPOSSIBLE to win with the current PC tactics we use. We should either win or leave and at this point we should leave.
Breaking: Taliban Using Chemical Weapons Against US Troops? 4-5 Troops Reportedly Fall Ill Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 29, 2010, 6:48 PM
Five US troops serving in Afghanistan recently fell ill after a suspected chemical weapons attack. Four or five members fell ill after the attack. One soldier is very sick. They are having trouble breathing.
I am waiting for more information. I should have an update by morning.
In 2009 National Terror Alertreported that Al-Qaeda and the Taliban had developed some expertise in making bio-chemical weapons.
The al-Qaida-Taliban combo plans to use parts of the Middle East as launch pads for attacks against the west. Not only so, the groups have also developed some expertise in making bio-chemical weapons, NWFP police chief Malik Navid told a Pakistan National Assembly’s standing committee.
Navid warned that the Pakistan government needed to urgently focus on containing militancy as it spread from its bases. “Taliban’s philosophy is to create pockets everywhere,” he said, adding that jihadi groups were moving through southern Punjab and eventually aimed to reach the financial hub of Karachi.Earlier this month on May 10, 2010, Stratfor reported on a chemical weapons attack on a girls school in Afghanistan.
Recently, 17 students at a Kabul, Afghanistan, girls high school fell ill and had to be hospitalized, along with several teachers. Doctors at the hospital agreed that it was some kind of poison, but have not been able to identify it yet. All the victims smelled something odd when they got to school, then fell ill, with some of the students losing consciousness. This is the second such incident at this school, and there was a similar attack at a girls high school further north. The Taliban have been known to attack girls schools, including injuring or killing students with gunfire, explosives and, in at least one case, acid thrown into the faces of students. Now it appears that poison gas has been added to the Taliban arsenal. Please keep the families and friends of our brave men and women in your thoughts and prayers.

Forget it!
Turn the Marines loose and let them mow down the entire region.

Midnight Rider,
This isn't really surprising at all, if you think about it. Jihadists are ruthless.
