Yeah, and water makes it worse because the water will start to boil and spread it around. The other option if you can't cut it out is to pack it with dirt and suffocate it. As long as it can find air it'll burn. [By The Way], you can make WP using urine and it really isn't hard. One of the interesting things about the unit I was in was some of the things I learned about how to make explosives and combustibles. I can make a crude napalm too. When the zombie apocalypse starts I'll be ready… ya'll probably want to find me then. .
Trump says Syria chemical gas attack "Crossed a lot of lines for me"
During a news conference with Jordan's King Abdullah, President Trump criticized the Obama administration for not solving the problem in Syria years ago and said the recent chemical attack on Syrian civilians "Crossed a lot of lines for me." In 2012, President Barack Obama said that the use of chemical weapons by the Syria regime of Bashar Assad would cross a red line. Ref. USAToday.
Trump's 360 degree turn means we could be seeing war soon. Looks like we are going to begin direct strikes against the Syrians but that could mean touching the Russians. Under Obama the Russians were able to plant big roots in Syria so strikes against them could mean Russians harmed.
