Full Version: 17 Chemical Rockets found in iraq
On friday the commander of the polish intelligence in Iraq ( insert polish joke here ) said soldier from the polish army found 17 grad rockets containing some chemicals , at least 2 of them tested positive for Sarin\Cyclosarin, plus another 16 empty rockets ( these are as well a violation of UN Resolutions as they are delivery systems)
for a quick rundown of cyclosarin we go here ...
Cyclosarin Nerve agent
snip
SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS
Lowered acetylcholinesterase levels are indicators of nerve agent intoxication in victims.
Depending on the degree of intoxication, symptoms may include:
Nervousness/Restlessness
Miosis (contraction of the pupil)
Rhinorrhea (runny nose), excessive salivation
Dyspnea (difficulty in breathing due to
bronchoconstriction/secretions)
Sweating
Bradycardia (slow heartbeat)
Loss of consciousness
Convulsions
Flaccid paralysis
Loss of bladder and bowel control
Apnea (breathing stopped)
Onset is usually rapid, occurring within minutes of exposure.
so just for perspective 1 gram of cyclosarin is enough to send 300 220lb. men into cardiac arrest, stop their breathing , make them loose bladder and bowel control, go completely limp, into convulsions... and die...
1 such rocket contains enough cyclosarin to kill about 5000 people. and at least 2 tested positive.
so that is roughly the ability to kill 10,000 people.
plus the delivery systems to kill another 80,000
nope those arent WMDs...
and this is just one find, how about the sarin and mustard gasses already found prior to 2 july 2004 ?
how about yellowcake uranium that is so thick at the al-tuwatha nuclear plant that greenpeace is calling it a ecological disaster area? some areas there are contaminated at 3000X normal radiological exposure levels...
nope no WMDs here ... move along ...
