wasnt that agent orange?
sorta, it was a weed killer turned tree killer. agent orange had this chemical crap in it that caused all the leafs and stuff to fall off trees and stuff. which meant they could see the troops from the air. but the downside to this was that the shit had all this man made chemcials that was the cause of a whole wack load of diseases and a bunch of em could kill you.
The US makes me sick…..They never actually declared war on Iraq, meaning their whole presence and occupation of Iraq was and is illegal under international law, meaning they are war criminals. They were also using armour piercing bullets during their "campaign". These too are banned under international law. Anyone found to be using them can lawfully be exectuted on the spot according to the UN. War against terrorism my ass, more like an excuse to secure foreign oil interests. It's the US's systematic treatment of second and third world nations as second class citizens that led to September 11th. 5000 people is nothing compared to the millions of people starving worldwide due to their fucked-uped policies. Until the US looks long and hard at these policies they won't be able to put a dent in the global sentiment that led to the tragedy of Sept.11.

Agent orange is another name for a synthetic version of the hormone trees use to drop their leaves in fall (giberellins). Though nasty for plants, it has no direct effect on humans…..

you know what is worse?
the US went to war in the Gulf War right and in normal US policy they look for support within the ranks of middle eastern culture. so they influenced and convinced all these teenagers and young men to rise up against the oppression in iraq in return for a promise of peace and that crap.
what do they do?
they fight back the iraqis from taking over Kuwait and put out an insane number of oil fires. then STOP AT THE BORDER of iraq. this meant that all the people who supported the US were subseuqnetly murdered and left in mass graves. the US basically sold these kids and men off to stop iraq from expanding in to Kuwaiti oil fields.
yup

"The TCDD found in Agent Orange is thought to be harmful to man. In laboratory tests on animals, TCDD has caused a wide variety of diseases, many of them fatal. TCDD is not found in nature, but rather is a man-made and always unwanted byproduct of the chemical manufacturing process. The Agent Orange used in Vietnam was later found to be extremely contaminated with TCDD."
which is why it is banned.
Ya learn somethin' new every day…..what is TCDD?

Think I found the website you were looking at: "TCDD is one of a family of dioxins, some found in nature, and are cousins of the dibenzofurans and pcb's"

my copy of into the storm wich was written by an american general that led the american army during the war says otherwise
not from what i've always been told. instead they implemented sanctions and weapons inspections. so instead of removing saddam from power they punished him and the people he controlled.
