Agent Orange was *NOT* dropped on Vietnam with the intention if killing/maiming/harming in any way its citizens. That is a FACT.
If you want to call it a "Chemical Weapon used against Mother Nature", I'll agree with you.
Sarin, which Saddam Hussein used against thousands of Kurds in northern Iraq, was used WITH the intention of killing/maiming/causing harm.
If you cannot see the difference between the two, I dont know how to help you....

Why does everyone keep saying that Saddam used gas on his own people when it has never been proven, and in fact the evidence suggests it was Iran...
The Iranians were known to have used Sarin gas frequently, while Iraq was known for Mustard gas. Saying that Saddam gassed his own people over and over agian does not make it true.

Item: On 29/March/1987 the Revolutionary Command Council authorizesHassan Ali al Majid, to do "Whatever is necessary to deal with the Kurdish Problem.
Item: 15/April/1987 Chemical attacks directed against 30 villages in Northern Iraq. <sidenote> Do you really think Iraq just let that many Iranian fighter's across the border?
Item: To convince Saddam that his tactics worked, Ali ordered films made of these attacks and their aftermaths.
Item: Since the Iraqi government is so record-crazy, copies of these videos were kept, and during the Kurdish uprising, fell into the hands of the Kurds, who turned them over to international authorities.
Item: If you would like to see the gruesome effects, the entire 18 tons of files and videos can be found at the University of Colorado...
Now, unless your going to claim that these were all faked, which I'm sure you will, I think its been proven.

Well..Considering what I just said had nothing to do with the United States until the tapes were given to us, after going through many other countries/organizations first.
And, I would very much like to see said report. Very very much. Post a link/source?

Wow!!! Really?!?! Thousands are sick, deformed and dying because of pesticides they spray across the street from your house? That is, without a doubt, illegal. If people are dying because of what they are using then that is murder.

Few things...First, Sorry Rono, didnt see the links when I posted, I must not 've been paying attention. I look forward to checking those out.
Two, on the issue of Vietnam. I didnt mean that to sound pissy. I'll be more than happy to debate the merits and pitfalls of Vietnam if you'd like, but I suggest we get a more appropriate folder. And on a side note, I dont believe I brought it up.
Three, Its a relatively commonly accepted fact that pesticides sprayed on crops are not good for you. While I was being stupid saying 1000's of people, I stand by the fact that if your going to equate Agent Orange with a chemical weapon, your silly. Look at your standard lists of chemical weapons....
Sarin
VX
Mustard Gas
Chlorine Gas
Roundup Weed Killer.
Now, lets play a little game and pick the oddball out? Can you do it? I sure can...I'm sure the effects of Roundup sprayed over an entire country would produce similar effects, and I dont see it banned by any chemical weapons treaties...Or should I report the Garden Center down the road to the U.N.?!?

"In the first report they wrote: "In September 1988 - a month after the war had ended"
"Having looked at all the evidence that was available to us"
Those are 2 key quotes from the report that you cited Rono. Unfortunately, the Kurdish uprising did not occur until 1990, and it was several more years until all the information obtained was disseminated to the world community. Maybe with "all the evidence that was available to us" they could have made the wrong decision.
In 1800, "All the evidence that was available to us" declared the Black Man inferior. Facts change...Nice try though....

So are you saying that you still think it was Saddam that gassed the kurds?... I'm not exactly sure how what you've pointed out refutes anything.
P.S....the Kurdish uprising happened in 1988...not 1990...But believe what you want. Don't let facts stand in your way.

"P.S....the Kurdish uprising happened in 1988...not 1990...But believe what you want. Don't let facts stand in your way. "
Okay. Lets get the FACTS straight, since you claim to be fond of them...
Item: This is from KNN. The Kurdish News Network? I would assume they know their history, much better than you or I.
The Kurdish uprising of 1991 took place after the Coalition Forces' recapture of Kuwait. Encouraged by US calls for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, and by the rising of the Shi'i Arabs in south Iraq, a popular revolt spread rapidly across Kurdistan during March.
Heres a quote from Baylor Universities website as well...
A third, larger wave of Iraqi Kurds fled Iraq to Turkey and Iran immediately after the failed Kurdish uprising during the Gulf War, in early 1991
And, since the third time's the charm, heres one from The Washington Times...
The Brayti newspaper, run by the Kurdistan Democratic Party, said the grave was near Kanhash in the Kowair province, 24 miles south of Erbil. Kurdish forces captured the town for a few weeks during the 1991 uprising and again after the collapse of the Iraqi regime this month.
Now, Finding all these sources to point out your mistakes is getting a tad tedious. Could we do a bit of research before we post, please?
Now, to respond to your point...
"So are you saying that you still think it was Saddam that gassed the kurds?... I'm not exactly sure how what you've pointed out refutes anything. "
ALL the evidence, EVERY single little piece, points to the clear fact that Saddam gassed his own people. Eyewitness reports, Videotape, Iraqi Government documents. ALL of it. The only refuting evidence that I see is a outdated report from the U.S. Army War College with old, irrelevent information....

Sorry champ...but the Kurdish uprising where 5000 were gassed by "somebody" was in 1988...you are referring to something else. Do a search on google...use "1988 Kurdish Uprising" If I'm wrong then I will be more than happy to admit it.
Anybody else care to verify this, so that there is no mistake?

Right, Right. Heres where we're losing each other.
SOMEONE gassed Kurds in 1988. Agreed.
But, the uprising that I was referring to, the 1991 uprising, was when the Kurds conquered some Iraqi territory, and seized the documents/videotaps/evidence of the attack in 1988.
My main point is this: The report you cited was done in 1988. The evidence was seized in 1991. Obviously, the 1991 evidence was not incorporated into the report. Therefore, the report is obsolete.
Does this make sense? Or are we still missing each other?
