I remember what went down exactly. The USA found hundreds of tons of chemical WMDs, but the UN said we could NOT call that finding WMDs because all of the chemicals were in two separate drums and you had to mix two drums to have the deadly chemical. Because they were not premixed in the drums the UN felt those could not be called chemical WMDs.

That is also how the UN allows other tyrants to have everything and not hold them accountable for their weapons.

True story folks. I remember rolling my eyes reading this about 5-6 or six years into the war.

Those are called binary weapons. For the safety of friendly forces during the storage, handling and loading phases, IIRC, ALL US and NATO chemical weapons are binary. The two components are mixed when the containing weapon is fired/dropped.

It has been 36 years since I was the Nuclear, Biological & Chemical (NBC) Warfare Officer for my squadron, so my memory may be fuzzy. If any Freepers have more accurate info, please correct me.
