Was Saddam using it for those purposes? Perhaps after looking into it our inspectors felt that way...but the Kurds certainly weren't such a purpose for Saddam's chemicals, and they certainly are what you might call a dual use technology.
FYI.
What is the picture in the upper right corner?
You notice the white lettering on the barrel in the first pic, the chemical name and then the letters "UN". Ill bet those barrels were found during the first inspections just after Gulf War 1, so this would be on the list of declared stuff. Im not trying to burst anyones bubble or anything, just dont get too excited, believe me if we found anything the administration would definately get it out there.
He was mixing the with hydrazine to use as UDMH type of basic fuel for his scuds I believe.......could be wrong as it was just a quick observation in 91.
A nuisance?
But but but...those are old...
those aren't stock piles...
those aren't nuc-u-lur...
those aren't actually sitting in s NY subway system...

We need close up the shipping labels...!!!

If you have evidence of something, notify the proper authorities!
Nobody here with a working mind is going to draw any conclusions based on these pictures, which could have been taken in your backyard.
And by the way, what's the point of posting ambiguous pictures here? Can anyone here help you?
A label on a barrel is meaningless alone.
Come on, people.
There is only enough there to kill 1,000,000 people. It's only a nuisance.
Stuff is being kept quiet.
I got the impression from articles that I have read that chemicals have been found in Iraq, but they were separated in such a way (separate barrels) and could not be called official WMD, but if you mixed them in 5 minutes they would be.
What does your anonymous Freeper know of that?
In the UK, GEWS means "General Establishment for Water and Sewerage" which uses chlorine to purify water.
As for evidence of WMD's, the 700 tons of yellowcake fit my definition, and that material has already been brought back to the U.S., including news stories on it. Ditto for the mass graves that were found in Iraq in 2004 but were causa belli for our war against Serbia in 1999.
These look about as fake as those "Baby Milk Factory" jackets.
Jeff, this is mind blowing in one sense, and not surprising in another. The media certainly doesn't want us to see or hear about these things. Please thank the freeper in Iraq, and tell him/her our thoughts and prayers are with him/her.

Here's a link about a movie that came out this month as is going to be shown in theatres across the land about WMD's found in Iraq. Here's the link:

Iraq having a history with the British in their heyday, and the king's English being a useful and widely spoken language in trade, I would expect Iraqis to use English on the Brit style of spelling words rather than the American style as well. As you can see they use the Brit form "defence" as opposed to our form, "defense." Knowing already that Iraq used English as well as the official Arabic on its highway signage, seeing English & Arabic labels on shipping materials should be no surprise.
It still looks weird... but can't be casually dismissed for that reason.
As far a chemical precursors go I don't think anyone doubts that Iraq had tons of them- it's just that the press and the extremists have redefined "WMD" to a very narrow term referring exclusively to vast quantites of weapons already armed with fully mixed chemicals, or warheads already fitted with nuclear devices, or vast quantities of biological agents all ready to go.
They have specifically excluded the concept of programs, and with them asked us to dismiss and ignore not only the precursors we have found in quantity, but also the vials of pathogens which could be used to create vast quantities o pathogens which were found in a scientists' fridge, the numerous concealed laboratories and other facilities, the taped conversations of Iraqis trying to conceal their activities, the before and after satellite photos showing activities on the ground, the large numbers of scientists specializing in WMD, the assassination attempts on some scientists, the rather advanced stage of the Iraqi missile development program, the drones, Iraqi scientists' ties to the Libyan nuclear program, the presence of old WMD shells which should have been destroyed were Iraq to be in compliance, the bribery of the press, foreign government officials, UN officials and inspectors etc, etc. (Why bribe inspectors to not see what Iraq supposedly didn't have anyway?)
