US Plans To Use BioChemical Weapons On Iraq

 

AUSTIN and HAMBURG -- Top US military planners are preparing for the

US to use incapacitating biochemical weapons in an invasion of Iraq.

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard Myers,

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, revealed the plans in

February 5th testimony before the US House Armed Services Committee.

 

This is the first official US acknowledgement that it may use (bio)

chemical weapons in its crusade to rid other countries of such

weapons. The Sunshine Project and other nonprofits have warned since

late 2001 that the " War on Terrorism " may result in the United

States using prohibited biological and chemical armaments, thereby

violating the same treaties it purports to defend. The US

announcement creates grave concerns for the future of arms control

agreements, particularly the Chemical Weapons Convention.

 

Rumsfeld stated that plans are being made for multiple applications,

including use of gas or aerosols on unarmed Iraqi civilians, in

caves, and on prisoners.
