Sarin Gas Controversy
00:04:00

|
| This is about the large-scale indiscriminate use of weapons that the | |
| civilized world long ago decided must never be used at all. | |
| The supposed use of sarin gas in Syria is now being used as a pretext for war. | |
| But when did the civilized world decide that sarin gas shouldn't be used? | |
| And how different is sarin gas from the weapons of mass destruction that the civilized world wants to use on innocent Syrian civilians? | |
| Developed by the Nazis' own IG Farben, creators of Zyklon B used for mass murder in concentration camps, Sarin gas was a standard chemical military weapon of both the U.S. | |
| and the USSR. | |
| And in the 1950s, it was adopted by NATO as a standard chemical weapon. | |
| The U.S. | |
| military industrial complex made a science out of sarin delivery. | |
| Pictured here is the M-134 bomblet, designed for the M-190 Honest John rocket warhead. | |
| The bomblets carried sarin nerve agent and were released 5,000 feet above their target, saturating an area 1,000 meters in diameter with sarin gas. | |
| Does Syria possess anything like that? | |
| But of course, it was okay because we had it. | |
| It defies any code of morality. | |
| Let me be clear. | |
| The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children, and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. | |
| After using and weaponizing sarin gas for over 40 years, the U.S. | |
| signed a treaty in 1993 to ban its use. | |
| Five years later, CNN and Time Magazine both broke a story about the U.S.' 's use of sarin gas during Vietnam. | |
| In the firestorm of controversy, CNN and Time fired the reporters and declared the story false. | |
| However, the reporters pushed back with a 77-page document backing up their allegations, and April Oliver won a $1 million lawsuit against CNN. | |
| But just the presence of sarin gas in Syria, regardless of whether it was used by the rebels, by the CIA and Jordanian commandos that Le Figaro reported entered Syria a couple of weeks earlier, or whether it was actually the Syrian government, The use of chemical weapons is supposed to be justification for the U.S. | |
| military-industrial complex to rain death down on tens or hundreds of times more innocent men, women, and children than were killed in this attack. | |
| But chemical weapons experts not affiliated with the U.S. | |
| government have cast doubt on whether sarin was actually the chemical used. | |
| 500 times more toxic than cyanide, it can kill within one minute. | |
| And it will kill first responders who don't wear protective clothing. | |
| That this apparently didn't happen makes it doubtful that the chemical used was sarin. | |
| And how does sarin gas compare to weapons that the U.S. | |
| has used and continues to use? | |
| Millions of gallons of Agent Orange were dropped in Vietnam during the war. | |
| Nearly 50 years later, three generations later, it is still showing up in horrible birth defects. | |
| And it didn't just affect Vietnamese civilians. | |
| American soldiers are dying from cancer and having difficulty getting the U.S. | |
| government to accept responsibility, having to fight one by one against the VA. | |
| And the U.S. | |
| continues to use weapons that would mean a slow death sentence for those who survived the war, both U.S. | |
| soldiers and foreign citizens. | |
| That would be depleted uranium. | |
| At about the same time the U.S. | |
| agreed to ban the use of sarin gas, it reversed its policy and began exposing U.S. | |
| soldiers to depleted uranium. | |
| Like Agent Orange, it is also a persistent poison, killing slowly and causing birth defects. | |
| Our sense of basic humanity is offended, not only by this cowardly crime, but also by the cynical attempt to cover it up. | |

| The American government's hypocrisy over the use of weapons of mass destruction is a stench before heaven. | |
| That they would use this to justify the murder of tens of thousands more people is what should offend our sense of humanity. | |
