Widespread reports of chlorine gas attacks in Syria have not been prevented - or acted upon - because chlorine is not "historically" considered a chemical weapon, US President Barack Obama stated Thursday.

Obama was forced to answer the chlorine question during a press conference from a summit at Camp David with leaders of the Gulf states. Syria and Iran were key issues at the conference.

German chemical companies BASF, Hoechst and Bayer (which formed the IG Farben conglomerate in 1925)

BASF, they don't make the products that kill you. They make the products that kill you better.

You can go through most colleges and universities and never take a class in European or American history.

Wasn’t chlorine gas used as a chemical weapon in WWI?

Yes - the very first.

Guess he didn’t learn much world history growing up in Indonesia. Or, maybe the drugs took out a bigger section of his brain than previously thought. Moron. Embarassment.

Any housewife who has added chlorine bleach to certain household cleaners knows how toxic it can be.
Just a bit combined with ammonia is very irritating to your airway, and the fumes can drive you out of the house.

[ Obama: Chlorine Gas Not ‘Historically’ a Chemical Weapon

Except you know, it was the FIRST one.

That is like saying that muskets were not historically a projectile weapon....

“uhhhh.....he has an Ivy League education and knows NOTHING of the history of WW I.”

One would think that the board of directors at Columbia would want to finally come out and say “he never attended here” just to distance themselves from his constant display of a lack of any real intelligence.

I believe Chlorine, and Chlorine gas were first mas produced around 1892, for bleach and other manufacturing processes, it took a scant twenty years of historical use to become the historical weapon of mass destruction in WWI!

Nothing to see here, folks. It is just the POTUS moving the line in the sand so he has justification to ignore a problem. Nothing of importance. Move along.

Yes. There was an elderly gentleman in my hometown that would relax at the city park that could barely be understood when he spoke, the result of chlorine gas in WWI.
