Open Question: What does it mean when a home inspector says that “water testing” is included in the inspection….?
yet on the contract it says “water: wells/septic” under the *not covered* section. Did the guy mean “water” as in all the plumbing and what-nots inside the house?
oh ok. I had been under the assumption that the guy was mis-quoted in saying that, as part of the inspection..the water would be tested..and the contract said to me that it *wouldnt*..but “not covered” has a different meaning, i guess lol. He will test the water, but any bad results will not be able to be used in negotiations..right?

Resolved Question: why do people say no weapons of mass destruction were found in IRAQ?
look up the Al-Anfal Campaign where Saddam Hussein used biologival and chemical weapons to commit genocide against the Kurdish people

then he used CW and BW again in the Iran-Iraq war

then we found 500 tons of yellow-cake uranium in iraq
then we found chemical and biological weapons

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38213

“They found equipment for “uranium-enrichment centrifuges” whose only plausible use was as part of a clandestine nuclear-weapons program. In all these cases, “Iraqi scientists had been told before the war not to declare their activities to the U.N. inspectors,” the official said. ”

“A prison laboratory complex that may have been used for human testing of BW agents and “that Iraqi officials working to prepare the U.N. inspections were explicitly ordered not to declare to the U.N.” Why was Saddam interested in testing biological-warfare agents on humans if he didn’t have a biological-weapons program?

“Reference strains” of a wide variety of biological-weapons agents were found beneath the sink in the home of a prominent Iraqi BW scientist. “We thought it was a big deal,” a senior administration official said. “But it has been written off [by the press] as a sort of ’starter set.’”

New research on BW-applicable agents, brucella and Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever, and continuing work on ricin and aflatoxin that were not declared to the United Nations.

A line of unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs, or drones, “not fully declared at an undeclared production facility and an admission that they had tested one of their declared UAVs out to a range of 500 kilometers [311 miles], 350 kilometers [217 miles] beyond the permissible limit.”

“Continuing covert capability to manufacture fuel propellant useful only for prohibited Scud-variant missiles, a capability that was maintained at least until the end of 2001 and that cooperating Iraqi scientists have said they were told to conceal from the U.N.”

“Plans and advanced design work for new long-range missiles with ranges up to at least 1,000 kilometers [621 miles] — well beyond the 150-kilometer-range limit [93 miles] imposed by the U.N. Missiles of a 1,000-kilometer range would have allowed Iraq to threaten targets throughout the Middle East, including Ankara [Turkey], Cairo [Egypt] and Abu Dhabi [United Arab Emirates].”

Resolved Question: what is the procedure the sender in this e-mail is referring to,can you give me guidance?
If you need to check the car here are the details you need :
VRM: FS54SLK
VIN/Chassis/No WDB1714422F043156
Due to the fact that i am located outside UK and we can not deal in person,i`ve contacted Yahoo regarding this issue and they told me that they could offer to me a program that is created especially for international transactions that protects both of us.They agreed to supervise this deal.
You will send the funds to Yahoo and they will keep the money until you receive the vehicle and test it.In this way both buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.They will hold and insure your money until receipt of the car in good condition. That is how their service is working. As far as the seller concerns, i will be glad to know that Yahoo is in possession of the funds during the delivery period.
You will be given a 15 days inspection period from the day you receive the car at home( i will ship it to your address insured for full value to you ).
If you decide to keep the car, then you will have to authorize Yahoo to release the funds to me, and the transaction is complete.If the vehicle is not as described ( perfect interior,exterior,mechanical condition ), you will be able to send the vehicle back through the same shipping company ( return postage at my expense ), and ask Yahoo to return the money to you.
If you wish to purchase it and agree to these terms i will need you to provide your full name and address. I will then notify Yahoo and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
I will be waiting for your reply as soon as possible

Thank you in advance
Jonathan
