Still whining about Syria?

OMG! What a SHOCK, Syrians are (supposedly) using chemical weapons:


Just in case you forgot:
  • The US was accused of using Sarin nerve gas to kill deserters in Laos during Operation Tailwind in 1970 (while Nixon was President).
  • The Russians developed several new nerve agents (Novichok) as part of the Foliant Program in the 70s and 80s (perfected under our “pal” Gorbachev).
  • The Russians used an unknown chemical agent to kill Chechen terrorists in a Moscow theater in 2002 (while Putin was President).
  • The United States used an unknown nerve agent against protesters at the WTO Ministerial Conference in Seattle in 1999 (while Clinton was President).

Many modern governments possess and have used chemical weapons, usually against their own people. Israel has LOTS of them and would probably not hesitate to use them if they thought it was necessary.

Grow up people. If you want weapons of mass destruction banished, whining about Syria is not the way to do it. Start with the US, Russia, and Israel: they have the biggest arsenals.
