Ammonium cloride gas in a confined space is pretty dangerous and can kill you in a high enough concentration with long enough exposure. Yes we demand answers from Smith’s Grocery Store. As for you Mr Las Vegas Ron, what did you know and when did you know it? We need witnesses, dates, and times. And we want a shrubbery. Something very nice. But not too expensive.

This is a red line... oh wait a minute.

As for bombing them to hell, don’t put it past this idiot.

Britain will get to the bottom of it.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s what I figured. These probably have many legitimate uses. I can’t verify that, but it’s my hunch.

‘How many muzzies are in Britains political cadre?’

None. Contrary to myth, British Muslims have no political power or any major social power.

Yikes, I’d love to answer your post but for some reason I hear footsteps in the gravel and helicopters over my house...I’ll have to get back to you....

But the question remains, where did Syria get their chemical weapons.

The din of the silence is causing ears to bleed.

“No ... you’re not under arrest ... we just want to know what you plan to do with this stuff ... “

But if you don’t answer all of our questions, we’re going to take it from you!” Especially if it has to do with guns.

No, but they have plenty of useful idiots willing to do their bidding courtesy of Saudi oil money.

"Who these chemicals were sold to in Syria, ans why were they sold?"

The answer is obvious in the article.

"BRITAIN allowed firms to sell chemicals to Syria...the UK Government has been allowing the sale of these ingredients to Syria...The chemical export licences...were only revoked six months later, when the European Union imposed tough sanctions on Assad’s regime...The Government...granting licences to companies to export to regimes such as Syria."

Ammonium chloride is a relatively harmless salt. But that’s not what you get when you mix ammonium hydroxide with chlorine (or sodium hypochlorite). You get chloramine, which is toxic.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I couldn’t remember the proper mix. I am no chemist.

[reg45]

That’s OK, I am.

Glad one of us is!
