Who Disrespects NYPD & NYFD

Hey, you're the one posting dubbed films and bringing up MLK civil trials as evidence. Seems pretty vapid to me.

Look, I'd love for you to prove me wrong, really I would. It wouldn't be the first time I was. I suppose time will tell.

I have emailed fox to see if that film is fake.

Heres a quote from the article

A 1994 investigation by the Senate Banking Committee turned up dozens of biological agents shipped to Iraq during the mid-'80s under license from the Commerce Department, including various strains of anthrax, subsequently identified by the Pentagon as a key component of the Iraqi biological warfare program. The Commerce Department also approved the export of insecticides to Iraq, despite widespread suspicions that they were being used for chemical warfare.

You're claiming nerve gas, the article says insecticides.

Although U.S. export controls to Iraq were tightened up in the late 1980s, there were still many loopholes. In December 1988, Dow Chemical sold $1.5 million of pesticides to Iraq, despite U.S. government concerns that they could be used as chemical warfare agents. An Export-Import Bank official reported in a memorandum that he could find "no reason" to stop the sale, despite evidence that the pesticides were "highly toxic" to humans and would cause death "from asphyxiation."

..."Everybody was wrong in their assessment of Saddam," said Joe Wilson, Glaspie's former deputy at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, and the last U.S. official to meet with Hussein. "Everybody in the Arab world told us that the best way to deal with Saddam was to develop a set of economic and commercial relationships that would have the effect of moderating his behavior. History will demonstrate that this was a miscalculation."

So, was it a miscalculation or a deliberate attempt to arm Saddam w/ chemical and biological weapons Jessica? Your article doesn't say for certain.

It was deliberate. This quote explains


According to information obtained by the AGWVA, there is irrefutable evidence to show that the Unites States government provided and encouraged Iraq's use of chemical weapons. The United States Department of Commerce and The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) provided at least 80 shipments of biological agents that were not attenuated (or weakened) and were capable of reproduction

Sorry Jessica, this could merely (and I would bet probably) be intelligence on Iranian troop concentrations.

Where is the evidence that the US was encouraging use of chemical weapons?
