Thread Name: BS: Did CIA lunch the Sarin missile in Syria
Subject: RE: BS: Did CIA lunch the Sarin missile in Syria
One of the more disgusting features of the old usual individuals who persistently defend human rights abuses and war crimes is their scurrying behind "definitions"
A Vietnamese child can be photographed running down a road, her back melting from the effect of being covered with napalm - it's OK it's not a "chemical weapon"
The photographs of Palestinian children with horrific facial and body burns after being caught in a white-phosphorus 'rain-storm' - fine, not a chemical weapon.
U.S. pilots, having sprayed Agent Orange on Vietnamese peasants, return home dying from the effects of the shit they have dropped -no problem, not chemical weapons.
Acceptable Mass-murder by a rule book.
What kind of society have we developed if we allow these ethics to prevail; if we accept deliberate slaughter because the chemicals that are used are not "on somebody's list"?
And what kind of people use the fact that they are "not on a list" as some kind of support for their use?
This shit is stockpiled in huge amounts by the U.S. and the U.K. - they are chemicals, they are not stored for weeding gardens or cleaning paintwork, they are intended for killing and maiming this makes them chemical weapons, whatever some ******* book says, and to sanction such behaviour has added a new weapon to the killers arsenal - semantics.
The U.S. deliberately used saran on its own troops in Laos - there was a little flurry of bluster from our 'weapons expert (sic(k)) and then he rode off into the sunset - not even worthy of comment.
Hs place to be taken over by our good ol' reliable resident 'extremist on just about everything'
I often wonder if their reactions to these horrors would be the same if it was their own children's cindered and melted corpses being brought home in body bags, Kilner jars... or however they transport such remains - they way these inhuman prats argue, I often suspect that it would not make the slightest difference, such is their fanaticism - "my philosophy, right or wrong"
Why do these pricks refuse to recognise such behaviour as barbaric and why do they leave the door open for it to happen over, and over and over - amen?
And if these atrocities are "legal" why do they defend them as being such and allow them to be used in their/our name?
All rhetorical, I'm afraid - I know the answer.
