The British used it as a trade to the USA for the Hydrogen Bomb...thus its nickname...the Poor Man's H-Bomb. It's THAT deadly.

BeaverFever Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 2 hours ago, DogOnPorch said: No...Ronald Reagan didn't sell Saddam chemical weapons. Nor is he my hero. What Saddam did do is use the thiodiglycol that was provided to Iraq as part of oil for food and used it to make mustard agent. While mustard is pretty gnarly stuff and best employed as an area denial weapon, it's not a WMD. The USA has been out of the chemical/bio weapon business since Nixon, btw. As for your incredulity about Muthanna... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28222879 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/09/isis-seizes-chemical-weapons-plant-muthanna-iraq As for chemicals weapon shelf life...agents like sarin and VX are binary weapons...that is: two non-volatile chemicals mix and produce sarin, VX, etc. Usually right inside the device itself...rocket, artillery shell or what-have-you. Muthanna contained stockpiles of these binary chemicals. As for rendering these chemicals inert...never happened. The facilities do not exist in Iraq to handle VX or sarin disposal. The US got rid of their stocks on Johnston Atoll well away from ANY humans...it's that dangerous a procedure. Rumsfeld 'helped Iraq get chemical weapons' 02:36 EST 31 Dec 2002 , updated 03:43 EST 31 Dec 2002 US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld helped Saddam Hussein build up his arsenal of deadly chemical and biological weapons, it was revealed last night. As an envoy from President Reagan 19 years ago, he had a secret meeting with the Iraqi dictator and arranged enormous military assistance for his war with Iran. The CIA had already warned that Iraq was using chemical weapons almost daily. But Mr Rumsfeld, at the time a successful executive in the pharmaceutical industry, still made it possible for Saddam to buy supplies from American firms. They included viruses such as anthrax and bubonic plague, according to the Washington Post. The extraordinary details have come to light because thousands of State Department documents dealing with the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war have just been declassified and released under the Freedom of Information Act. At the very least, it is highly embarrassing for 70-year-old Mr Rumsfeld, who is the most powerful and vocal of all the hawks surrounding President Bush. He bitterly condemns Saddam as a ruthless and brutal monster and frequently backs up his words by citing the use of the very weapons which it now appears he helped to supply. The question is: Why has he never said anything about his role in the negotiations? 'Donald Rumsfeld has some explaining to do,' a senior Pentagon official said last night, while Congressional sources said that a Senate Committee was considering opening hearings to investigate exactly what happened. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-153210/Rumsfeld-helped-Iraq-chemical-weapons.html U.S. Had Key Role in Iraq Buildup High on the Bush administration's list of justifications for war against Iraq are President Saddam Hussein's use of chemical weapons, nuclear and biological programs, and his contacts with international terrorists. What U.S. officials rarely acknowledge is that these offenses date back to a period when Hussein was seen in Washington as a valued ally. Among the people instrumental in tilting U.S. policy toward Baghdad during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war was Donald H. Rumsfeld, now defense secretary, whose December 1983 meeting with Hussein as a special presidential envoy paved the way for normalization of U.S.-Iraqi relations. Declassified documents show that Rumsfeld traveled to Baghdad at a time when Iraq was using chemical weapons on an "almost daily" basis in defiance of international conventions. The story of U.S. involvement with Saddam Hussein in the years before his 1990 attack on Kuwait -- which included large-scale intelligence sharing, supply of cluster bombs through a Chilean front company, and facilitating Iraq's acquisition of chemical and biological precursors -- is a topical example of the underside of U.S. foreign policy. It is a world in which deals can be struck with dictators, human rights violations sometimes overlooked, and accommodations made with arms proliferators, all on the principle that the "enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Throughout the 1980s, Hussein's Iraq was the sworn enemy of Iran, then still in the throes of an Islamic revolution. U.S. officials saw Baghdad as a bulwark against militant Shiite extremism and the fall of pro-American states such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and even Jordan -- a Middle East version of the "domino theory" in Southeast Asia. That was enough to turn Hussein into a strategic partner and for U.S. diplomats in Baghdad to routinely refer to Iraqi forces as "the good guys," in contrast to the Iranians, who were depicted as "the bad guys." A review of thousands of declassified government documents and interviews with former policymakers shows that U.S. intelligence and logistical support played a crucial role in shoring up Iraqi defenses against the "human wave" attacks by suicidal Iranian troops. The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2002/12/30/us-had-key-role-in-iraq-buildup/133cec74-3816-4652-9bd8-7d118699d6f8/ As to your claims that Saddam had a WMD arsenal in 2003 that is just completely false as evidenced by that face that neither Saddam nor ISIS used WMD to prevent their own defeat Regarding Muthanna, once again a Trump supporter doesn’t have the intellectual acumen to fully read his own articles... shocking. All of your links confirm there was nothing usable at the site since Desert Storm as it had been bombed during that war and then under UNSCOM control. And remember your Republican liars did not claim Saddam might have a few obsolete mothballed shells in Disposal sites that he might refurbish someday. They said he had a highly sophisticated and fully operational and ACTIVE State of the art WMD program with mobile ICBM launchers roving the desert that could strike US soil within 45 minutes.

(Nope, 12, Biden signed 28) Was Trump the guy who used the vast power of the oval office for super-important things like allowing trans ex-men to smack women around in sports? Nope.

Yeah ok that’s why Putin supported Trump because he really liked Obama freezing those billions of Oligarch money. The billions that Trump said he wanted to give back. Good one pal. Your crackpot hot mic moment is another Republicans made up controversy when you tale something benign and then pretend it’s something it isn’t. Trumtards spent the first half of the Trump presidency claiming Trump was a peacemaker bringing America back from the brink of war with Russia started by the warmongering Obama. This is how they defended Trump constantly licking Putin’s balls and bending over for him. That story didn’t really go over well so of course they eventually tried to flip the narrative but nobody really buys that either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
