Kerry said chemical weapons are bad. It's the excuse to rush to war. Multiple wars. Kerry then said: "many countries have taken major steps to eradicate these weapons." Does that include the USA? The USA used chem weapons like White Phosphorous in Iraq. Apparently, carpet bombing Vietnam and attacking food supplies (war crime) with dioxin, and "herbicide" which was concentrated FIFTY times normal use and then dumped on FIVE MILLION square acres, killing, maiming or causing birth defects in MILLIONS of people, was NOT enough!!! We KNOW the devastating results, and yet STILL use chem weapons (and stand by while Israel do as well).. We didn't even give so much as a finger wag towards Saddam during the 80's when he gassed the Kurds. (until of 2002ish when we had to get rid of big, bad Saddam). After these, you would think USA would be like, wow, we're never using anything that even sounds like a chemical. Nope. Not like that. They keep their stash and use it in small bits. Why? You only need to keep it if you feel the need to use it. But if using it is wrong, then why would you keep your supply? Can anyone help me come to terms with that conundrum? Here's the speech he just gave, for if you don't get revolted by too much injustice and hypocrisy: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ria-chemical-weapons-and-the-need-to-respond/
