"While ignoring Iraqi chemical weapon use, the U.S. government
proclaimed throughout the 1980s that the Soviet Union had a decisive lead
in chemical and biological warfare, including in the area of genetic
engineering, thus requiring the development of a new general of U.S.
chemical weapons. In fact, a study by the General Accounting Office of the
U.S. Congress, based on classified as well as unclassified sources, found
little hard evidence to support the dire warnings. (NO EVIDENCE)..."

"As for gene warfare, evidence of a Soviet effort in this area was
scanty, and the U.S. Army was advertising for specialist son recombinant
DNA and toxins three years before the Pentagon even claimed Moscow was
using genetic engineering for military purposes." [Shalom]
The United States meanwhile was doing open-air testing of biological
agents and ended the 18 year moratorium on the production of chemical
weapons. What is good for the U.S. is only good for the U.S. Producing
chemical weapons by the U.S. was unnecessary but then, this is the U.S.
and it can do anything it wants to do.
"When I left Iraq in 1998 when the U.S. inspection program ended, the
infrastructure and facilities had been 100% eliminated. There's no debate
about that. All of their instruments and facilities had been destroyed.
The weapons design facility had been destroyed. The production equipment
had been hunted down and destroyed. And we had in place mans to
monitor---both from vehicles and from the air--the gamma rays that
accompany attempts to enrich uranium or plutonium. We never found
anything. We can say unequivocally that the industrial infrastructure
needed by Iraq to produced nuclear weapons had been eliminated."
(Scott Ritter, former Weapons Inspector)
