On the subject of Chemical and Biological Weapons, I forgot to mention the US acts as a centre for controlled destruction of these weapons. The Pentagon has a firm and binding commitment to have all such stocks of weapons and agents destroyed by the summer of next year.

I have in the past asked ex-military 'catters' to tell me what the colour code was for US/NATO Chemical/Biological Weapons, because people like Frank and others continue to insist that the US supplied Saddam with such weapons - Noone ever came back and gave me any answer, they couldn't because NATO from the 1950's did not possess such weapons. Only recently does a colour code appear for such weapons, it's Gray, and the reason it has appeared is down to the fact that there are now countries who are members of NATO that were formerly part of the Warsaw Pact. The weapons are being withdrawn and destroyed.
