So do I. I see a full WWIII even though we are already in one. 9/11 was the Reichstag fire, Afghanistan was Poland, and Iraq was France.
Iran will be akin to Hitler''s invasion of Russia.
"Vietnam, US to clean Agent Orange site" by Associated Press / June 18, 2011
HANOI — Vietnam started the first phase of a joint plan yesterday with its former enemy, the United States, to clean up environmental damage left from the chemical defoliant Agent Orange, a lasting legacy from the Vietnam War.
Not to mention what it did to people. That and the other things like napalm.
The work concentrates on a former US military base where the herbicide was stored during the war that ended more than three decades ago. It marks the first time the two sides will work together on the ground to clean up contamination.
US aircraft sprayed millions of gallons of the chemical over South Vietnam to destroy guerrilla fighters’ jungle cover....
It was CHEMICAL WARFARE and a WAR CRIME, sorry!
And it is a PATTERN with the U.S. since we have now LITTERED Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen with DEPLETED URANIUM munitions.
Contamination from dioxin — a chemical used in Agent Orange that has been linked to cancers and birth defects — has remained a thorny topic between the former foes as relations have thrived in other areas....
Btw, we also dumped white phosphorus on Iraq and then lied about it.
Vietnam’s Red Cross estimates up to 3 million Vietnamese have suffered health-related problems from Agent Orange exposure.
All over lies, readers.
The United States has said the actual number is far lower and that other health and environmental factors are probably to blame for many illnesses and disabilities.
What unbelievable assholes we are!
