So much so, that Gerber is launching a product in the not too distant future which is comprised substantially of Agent Orange. They are bouncing around the name Napalm Bisquits. Apparently, it is a teething bisquit for your teething toddlers. It's guaranteed to take care of the little one's teeth and gums.

For those of you who "know" Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, why not help Blair face a rebellion by his party who feel he had lied to them that Iraq had them and was ready to use them....

Prove Iraqi guilt, MPs tell Blair

Saturday April 19, 2003
The Guardian

Tony Blair is facing the threat of a fresh rebellion from Labour backbenchers who are growing increasingly alarmed that the failure to uncover weapons of mass destruction in Iraq will confirm that the war was illegal. "

I think this deserves a new post

The Guardian isn't the only source of news in our country and certainly isn't the least biased of news sources.]

Although interesting, I doubt anything will come of this.

My point was that if someone "KNOWs" of the wherebouts of real WMD they need to try and help Blair out. (Sarcasm)

Cap'n Jack

Iraq.

Need an American link about WMD?

Washington Post is reputable (how about your sources)?

Uhh, say what????
About as safe as DDT!!!
Anything capable of burning and killing any living plants just by contact, cannot be safe to be around of.
The story goes that it causes leucemia, cancer and other nasty side effects...
Lots of veterans had malformed children, and developed blood poisoning.

And, if it was "safe", why was it banned from use??
In comparison, the mustard gas would look like a mild alergy!!!
Hey, but if you believe it is safe , then you are welcomed to shower with the stuff, i don�t give a crap...
Just not around me!! :banghead:

Coleman responds:

I suspect that your statement is a bit of hyperbole, but just in case it�s not please see the articles posted below and in my prior post.

Agent Orange may be unsafe and may produce a range of diseases.

I have not seen peer reviewed articles on Agent Orange and therefore neither agree or disagree with the assertion that it is as dangerous as alleged.

However, Agent Orange was not specifically used as an antipersonel weapon as was mustard gas.

There are both immediate and long-term consequences to exposure to mustard gas, which have been well cataloged.

Persons who have inhaled mustard gas will generally suffocate as the linings of the lungs degrade to the point where they no longer function. The linings of the lung blister and ablate.

(1) �The effects of mustard gas exposure include the reddening and blistering of skin, and, if inhaled, will also cause blistering to the lining of the lungs, causing chronic impairment, or at worst, death. Exposure to high concentrations will attack the corneas of the eyes, eventually rendering the victim blind.�


Those who survive the battlefield have a lifetime of suffering ahead with a high probability of lung disease and increased morbidity.

Surprisingly, there is some investigation in to the use of MG as a treatment for cancer.
