#1 There is a very simple environmentally-friendly way to get rid of the stuff. There are a bunch of madrassas and mosques that store all kinds of nasty stuff. Just air drop it on them and they will know what to do.

#2 Hold on to them. There will be a need to dispose of them over Iran.

#3 I agree with #'s 1 & 2. Don't get rid of it now. We need it. This should be dispersed over Wazoo territory in liberal amounts ASAP. And fer-godsakes, if we have any napalm squirreled away somewhere, save it.

#4 I think BZ would be more effective and hard to pin anything on the user. VZ leaves bodies. BZ's Zombies are so much more work for the support staff. A win win scenario.

#5 What are BZ ad VZ? Nerve agents? Is there a link that describes what they are and their effects and use?

If I remember right, I once heard VX described as "bug spray for humans". Scary!

#7 Global Security has a good entry-level background article here.

#8 You've become them.

According to MSM and the talking heads who seem to be the only ones to get public coverage, we've been worse than them since slavery suffrage Hiroshima
the beginning. You know after a while, who gives a S**t. If there's nothing we do that doesn't provoke them anyway, there's no reason to hold back. LetÂ’s follow the Democratic Party strategy - anything is legitimate as long as it leads to power.

#9 I'm missing something here. To my knowledge, the US spent a bloody fortune on the Toole, Nevada destruction site, that incinerates chemical weapons and filters the air so thoroughly that it is cleaner than fresh air.

So what the heck are they doing in Indiana?

And the transshipment excuse doesn't fly, because we have chemical munitions crossing the country at intervals with no problem.

I really missed that staff meeting.

#10 BZ definition

As to VZ - typo - VX is what I meant.

BZ is not bug-spray rather something so 60's.

#11 Aw heck, I mean Tooele, Utah.

#12 You've become them.

Well, what you might mean to say is that we are both willing to use similar means to achieve our ends. Supposing this were so, which it isn't yet and hopefully will never have to be, the difference between the two cases is in the ends. Whose world would you prefer to live in, assuming you were dropped into it at random.

#13 Thanks for the BZ/VX links! :-)

#14 The US has been destroying Sarin, VX, and mustard gas for a decade at the Pueblo Army Depot, north of Pueblo, CO. As far as I know, no one has ever died from it. Chemical weapons were also stored at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Denver since the Second World War, without killing anyone. A couple of congresscritters are just playing NIMBY, possibly for large "accommodations" to be named later.
