Apparently the facility contains VX
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_%28nerve_agent%29
This nerve agent was classified as a WMD in 1991
saddam used pretty much all of the vx gas he had in the Halabja chemical attack
From NBC Defense School almost 40 years ago, I learned that VX (nerve agent) is some BAD, BAD stuff. And just a small amount in liquid form when dispersed as a gas goes a long, long way. Somehow I doubt that its lethality has lessened with age.
So, during the years that we “were in control of” Iraq, why were these depots full of nerve gas and toxins not disposed of?
