Did ISIS Use Chemical Weapons Against Kurds ???

Now this is a very disturbing report:

http://www.gloria-center.org/2014/10/meria-special-report-did-isis-use-chemical-weapons-against-the-kurds-in-kobani-warning-graphic-content/


This section of the report is astounding:


A CIA report from 2007, however, offers evidence that might challenge Psaki’s apparent absence of concern.


The report notes that “The precursor and agent production area at Al Muthanna was not completely destroyed during Desert Storm. Portions of the mustard (blister agent) production and storage area survived. The VX and Tabun production (nerve agent) facilities were incapacitated.”


The report further observes that “ISG is unable to unambiguously determine the complete fate of old munitions, materials, and chemicals produced and stored there. The matter is further complicated by the looting and razing done by the Iraqis.”


With regard to the state of al-Muthanna at the time that the report was composed (2007), it observes that

  • Stockpiles of chemical munitions are still stored there. The most dangerous ones have been declared to the UN and are sealed in bunkers. Although declared, the bunkers contents have yet to be confirmed.
  • Numerous bunkers, including eleven cruciform shaped bunkers were exploited. Some of the bunkers were empty. Some of the bunkers contained large quantities of unfilled chemical munitions.

So the CIA report confirms that al-Muthanna was used for the production of chemical weaponry including mustard agent. The report also confirms that investigations have been unable to ‘unambiguously determine’ the fate of munitions at the site, and that while stockpiles clearly are stored at the site, the precise nature of these stockpiles remains unconfirmed. There are no indications that this situation has changed in the period since the report.


The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 for the alleged purpose of locating and destroying Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, including chemical weapons. We occupied Iraq from 2003-2011. How is it even possible that a cache of chemical munitions and precursors was left behind when we pulled our troops out of the country?


This is unbelievable. Another massive Obama ad-Dajjal screw up.


Update: The New York Times has just published an extensive report on the factors which led to this fiasco. Does it seem to you that they subtly blame the whole thing on the Bush administration?
