Could it be that you've had some "personal" experience with the Pinochet "regime", because I guess if you had, then that might not be good.Originally Posted by Chucaro
Please do a research before doubt what it is public ....
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld helped Saddam Hussein build up his arsenal of deadly chemical and biological weapons, it was revealed last night.
As an envoy from President Reagan 19 years ago, he had a secret meeting with the Iraqi dictator and arranged enormous military assistance for his war with Iran.
The CIA had already warned that Iraq was using chemical weapons almost daily. But Mr Rumsfeld, at the time a successful executive in the pharmaceutical industry, still made it possible for Saddam to buy supplies from American firms.
They included viruses such as anthrax and bubonic plague, according to the Washington Post.
The extraordinary details have come to light because thousands of State Department documents dealing with the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war have just been declassified and released under the Freedom of Information Act.
On November 1, 1983, a full month before Mr Rumsfeld's visit to Baghdad, Secretary of State George Shultz was officially informed that the CIA had discovered Iraqi troops were resorting to 'almost daily use of chemical weapons' against the Iranians.
Nevertheless, Mr Rumsfeld arranged for the Iraqis to receive billions of pounds in loans to buy weapons and CIA Director William Casey used a Chilean front company to supply Iraq with cluster bombs.

Yes, USA used his "good friend" Augusto Pinochet the dictator put by them in Chile
That good doing by USA cost more than 60000 lives.
Do you like to read a bit more about the "goods"done by them?
Then again better no, the pain to remember all it is to close to my chest, I live it up to you to do the research .........

Copy of some of the CIA docs about nerve gas are HEREArthur I would take that article with a very big grain of salt it talks of blair being the current prime minister of Britain despite being dated sept11 2013. I think its way out of date. Looks and reads as if some one just picked bits of news from other places and put them together also it says chemical weapons then talks about anthrax and bubonic plague with are biological weapons

Have I spoken to you before? I think I may have.
I think I've spoken to you about "The Battle Of The River Plate", involving the German Pocket Battleship, "Admiral Graf Spee" during WW11. The person I spoke to said he could remember his Father talking about it. Maybe it was on a Pentax forum?
Anyway, I'm sorry to hear of your "involvement".
Cheers, Pickles.
AT REST
Chucaro I believe that Iraq used chemical weapons I have some good friends who are Chaldean Catholics they tell me what he did to them and their families but that doesn't tell me where the weapons came from. Saddam Hussein got his weapons from France, and Russia predominantly so I would look there first but you never know you could be right. Those other doc you link to don't say where the weapons came from but do say they were used and that he would use them again I would say almost every int agency at that time would have said the same thing

SubscriberSome interesting news here, check out " War crimes on both sides", and " destroying Syrias chemical arms " . I was wondering what the UN was doing, they have been quietly beavering away below the radar. Bob. From the BBC
Russia 'hands Syria plans to US'
Russia has handed over to the US its plans to make safe Syria's chemical weapons, sources say, after President Obama put military strikes on hold.

G'Day Bob.
Well, I reckon the good thing about these latest developments is there is at least some talking going on amongst the major powers.
However, I note that the Russians have said that "any declaration blaming the Syrians would be unacceptable"?
Cheers, Pickles.

I remember seen the to of the mast of the Graf Spee and the entrance of the Montevideo's port form my parents apartment.
Pickles, the end of the 60's to the beginning of the 80's was a very dark period for Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia to name some.
Our blood boils and our hearth is in pain when people say something nice about the criminals of Henry Kissinger, Nixon, Ford, Regan, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (french president back then) among others.
On 16 February 2007, a request for the extradition of Kissinger was filed at the Supreme Court of Uruguay. USA still protect him. International crime and killing of ex presidents and members of parliament of South America appears that it is OK for USA.
The day that they are accountable for their crimes and at very least say sorry and remove the names of the criminals as heroes then it will help to heal profound wounds in the Latin American people.
There are not excuses for committing or support this crimes to humanity.
