You obviously mean something by it. I'm no expert but there's every reason to think the danes did as good a job as any.Loxleyhood said:I'm sure chemical weapons have been found in Iraq. What side they belong to though is a different matter.
Edit: Danish troops found them. I don't mean anything by this, but when I read that it lost just a tad more credibility.![]()
Not even radioactive - it's a World War 2-era chemical weapon. Certainly not the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" the US and UK have been claiming, as it's generally not even fatal.Chameleon said:This find surely isn't the one bush and blair were looking for though .... it's not surprising there's some old radioactive shit buried about the place is there!
Scooba da Bass said:It's 'only' shells that could contain Mustard Gas. The same stuff that most of the west sold to Iraq during the war with Iran and that the US helped to integrate into existing battle plans.
xane said:Its all very well dragging this argument up time and time again but the facts are sadly misleading because it happened a long time ago when the Berlin Wall still stood, the US has had four presidents since. Also remember that prior to 1980 it was the USSR, not "the West", that armed Iraq, so it's anyone's guess where these weapons came from.

Scooba da Bass said:Seeing as it was buried a minimum of 10 years ago and probably more how exactly is it misleading?
Regardless of who supplied it waving an ancient cache of 36 shells as some kind of jingoistic proof that USA was correct is just plain wrong.

Sometimes i just hate how subjectivley blind the world can become
xane said:In fact it was Iraq's frequent use of chemical weapons during the war with Iran that prompted the US and USSR to wake up to the reality of their use finally agree to a total worldwide ban and the confirmed elimination of their entire stocks, plus establishment of a UN protocol that biological and chemical weapons would never be used, stored or manufactured.
