Were millions of soldiers both Iran and Iraq sides killed during Iran-Iraq war by gas?

think of all the horable things Saddam would have done to those Mosquitos.

Shame on you all!
Do you still believe their propaganda?

"Shame on you"
The site that your article talks about is different than the one that the original poster's article is referring to.

How many times have I heard this same story.... "US finds chemical weapons!!!"

Then an hour later they say- "sorry, we were wrong, it was a bottle of Raid ant killer"

ahh lets see ...once.

Not just once, this is at least the third time so far.

There was that big laboratory that was camoflaged and guarded by troops that they found last week, there was also a lab in Northern Iraq that they found, and there was the find a few days ago with that grey container with the nozzles on it. Each time the breaking news was they they found chemical weapons, and each time the story just faded away.

I think the fact that they found missiles and artillery shells filled with chemical agents this time makes it a weeeeeeeeeeee bit different. If of course the reports that missiles and shells were found. Just heard a reporter, not sure who, live on the scene that said he had seen both missile warheads and artillery shells being removed, opened, and tested.

Just can't help but wonder if the stories are getting mixed up.

I heard on the news that drums of chemicals that tested positive for nerve agents and blister agents were found at a pesticide plant but that the drums were found in a different area and were camouflaged.

 

[Marshallj]

I sure hope we find evidence, but I've just learned not to get my hopes up.

So far, most rumors of finding chemical weapons have turned out to be false, and it would continue the trend if this story was false too.

Missiles found at one site...drums found at the agricultural site

Geez, even that article seemed confusing. There seems to be 5 or 6 different sites that are being tested.

I was right again. Turns out to be pesticide.

Is this the same story?

 

[Marshallj]

By the way, pesticides are in fact nerve agents, but they're nerve agents that work on insects' nervous systems. I'd imagine that the same facilities would be able to make both pesticides and human nerve agents. It wouldn't surprise me if these factories made nerve gas, and then later on switched to pesticide production to cover up the evidence.

Zyklon B was a pesticide.

And it killed 6,000,000 people

Refresh us. What is Zyklon B and when did it kill 6 mil? I think I've heard of it, but I'm not sure in reference to? If I put 2 and 2 together, you are maybe referring to what the Nazi's used to gas the jews? (I could be way off.)

Yup, preferred gas used in the Nazi gas chambers

CBS news just showed a clip of troops handling the drums and they did not appear to be too worried about the contents. They were wearing masks but not the full MOP suit. Appears to be just insecticide. But, one report I heard was that the drums were found under camouflage. Why would they need to do that?
