So they covered up the reason they said they were there for in the first place? Makes sense.

They were chemical weapons provided by the West in the early 80s I think.

These weren't the exact, precise WMD for which the press were insisting on.

Therefore, they were assumed away. The sad part of this is that the propoganda campaign was so successful that people like Colin Powell, Condi Rice and W all say there were no WMD, when there were definitely WMD in Iraq.

You don't say

Rumsfeld 'helped Iraq get chemical weapons'

You mean our Secretary of Defense during the Iraq War was chummy with Saddam? WHO KNEW?

I'm going to guess the tuxedo photo is not the real one in that set.

ISIS + Ebola is far worse than any other weapon IMO. The possibilities are real nightmares and truly unthinkable.

A couple of ISIS fools getting intentionally exposed and traveling to a major US City would be all it would take.

Pretty sure Tom Clancy wrote about this in Executive Orders. It was pretty damn intense.
