Charles R. Smith Thursday, March 3, 2005 Moscow Moved Weapons to Syria and Lebanon
According to a former top Bush administration official, Russian special forces teams moved weapons of mass destruction out of Iraq to Syria.
"I am absolutely sure that Russian Spetsnatz units moved WMD out of Iraq before the war," stated John Shaw, the former deputy undersecretary for international technology security.

According to Shaw, Russian units hid Saddam's arsenal inside Syria and in Lebanon's Bekka valley.
"While in Iraq I uncovered detailed information that Spetsnatz units shredded records and moved all WMD and specified advanced munitions out of Iraq to Syria and Lebanon," stated Shaw during an exclusive interview.
"I received information from several sources naming the exact Russian units, what they took and where they took both WMD materials and conventional explosives. Moscow made a 2001 agreement with Saddam Hussein to clear up all Russian involvement in WMD systems in Iraq," stated Shaw.
Shaw's assertions match the information provided by U.S. military forces that satellite surveillance showed extensive large-vehicle traffic crossing the Syrian border prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Moscow Paranoid About WMD
Shaw's information also backs allegations by a wide variety of sources of Russia's direct involvement in Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program. One U.N. bioterrorism expert announced that Russia has been Iraq's "main supplier of the materials and know-how to weaponize anthrax, botulism and smallpox."
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Robert Goldberg cited former U.N. weapons inspector Richard Spertzel, who stated that Moscow supplied Baghdad with fermentation equipment to produce biotoxins.
According to Spertzel, the Russians on the U.N. inspection team in Iraq were "paranoid" about his efforts to uncover smallpox production.
Goldberg noted that no country has "done more to rebuild" Saddam's chemical and biological weapons programs or "been more aggressive in helping hide the truth" than Russia.
It is a fact that Saddam Hussein rose to power backed by Russian weapons and Russian money. Saddam was in debt to Moscow for over $ 8 billion for the arms he purchased from Russia when he was captured by U.S. forces.
The primary Iraqi chemical weapons were VX nerve gas and mustard gas, a blistering agent, both obtained from Russia.
According to the book "Russian Military Power," published in 1982, "It is known that the Soviets maintain stocks of CW (chemical weapons) agents."
The two primary Russian chemical weapons in the 1982 Soviet inventory were the nerve agent "VX" and "blistering agents - developments of mustard gas used so effectively in World War I."
Russian Chemical Weapons in Iraq
Iraq did most of its WMD killing using Russian-made MiG and Sukhoi aircraft equipped with chemical sprayers. In addition, Saddam used French-made artillery and helicopters to dump gas on Iranian troops and Iraqi Kurds.
Iraq obtained Russian delivery systems and the same inventory of Russian-made chemical weapons at the same time. Iraqi SU-22 Fitter attack jets were armed with Warsaw Pact-designed bombs filled with chemical weapons. Iraq used these Russian jet fighters to drop chemical weapons on Iranian troops during the Iran-Iraq war.
Iraq tried to use these SU-22 jets during the 1991 Gulf War, but they were detected and destroyed on the ground before they could launch a deadly chemical attack.
I guess I have had my head in the sand all this time. I know the Syrians have the severed Hitler Head in a bottle and keep it alive To give them gudiance in dealing with the jews but I never expected the wmd to be in syria.
Just goes to show you , you never no whats going to happen next. Have I ever told you about my who Killed Kennedy idea think about this Mr Coffee Jolten Joe. He was married to Norma Jean found out the Kennedys were fucking Her got his buddy Albert Frances to help him and they offed Kennedy. Well got to go now the bus to the home is wating.
The article puts forward absolutley no relevant information at all...it's pure propoganda.
The article does nothing but once again highlight the absolute incapabilities of the Bush administration and their willingness to try and spread confusion through patches of hand picked rusty intelligence which can always later be swung to their advantage.
The article explains how the CIA and NSA were clueless as to how and when Russian forces moved the weapons but the author is "absolutley sure" they did this before the war in Iraq. Maybe he would care to give us relevant facts like when he discovered this and not just expect us to be zombies who believe everthing he attempts to shove down our throats...
The US has always been just as involved as Russia in the blood trade of weapons...probabley even more so than Russia. To list a few russian made weapons found and used in Iraq to try and tie this on Russia is shamless.
How about writing a TRUE factual article on how the US actually sold most of the weapons to Afganistan used against the US soldiers and the coallition forces in the recent Afganistan conflict. That rather imbarrasing fact can still be backed up by thousands of counts of US weapons trade to other sources so what exactly is this authors point when he tries to incite Russian involvement here purley through association...—
All in all this is just another attempt to create confusion and draw attention away from the real issues and questions sourounding the entirely US enitiated Iraqi \ Afgan debarkle...
Parallex, By contesting to one person that is not insulting all the members, and now you think insulting my intelligence makes you a bigger person.. well than think what you want-- if that how you rationalize things
In the beginning U.S. Told to the world that Al-Queda was to be blame on 9-11?where are those..??.. Afghanistan?.!! Hey..Lets go get'em?.1000's of 1000's died (still counting).
Year later Saddam has WMD? "No sir, U.N. said they don?t have WMD?" Fu** U.N?!! and its report? if we say so, then it is?.! War happen.. 100,000 and "still counting" dies.
Half a year later.. "sir.. there is no WMD"? hm? lets blame it on someone?. Iran/ Syria.. Which one is closer to our friend Israel in the region?.ah?Syria?of course it is? "but sir ?..they have nothing and like Iraq did nothing to harm U.S..!!"? hm, shut-up? let me think, we come up with something?. Russian "without our permission" helps Iranian to get Nuclear power".. but they are crazy mulla's and they may get us busy for awhile? lets (inject the idea to the world medias) that Russian special forces removed the WMD's from Iraq to Syria, so in this case we have something to grab and ready to attack on Syria, at the same time this could be nice "warning" to those commies?! They are also on the list?!! But at the end?!
Still No WMD's and still No Bin laden, and 9-11 still is a mystery, which started this shi.t in the first place..!
I read this thread and went back to your comments on cancerians in the Piscean board(I believe). YOu said:
"But my advice if anyone is involved with a cancer- learn how to read them emotionally or you will have drama.. make sure you can trust them first."
I do agree with that. A person dealing with a cancerian has to read their actions using their heart & respond using their head. LOL. Atleast that works with me. 🙂 Tough for many to manage this. I know. LOL.
Regarding the trust issue. People trust primarily when they are sure of other person's response/action or if they have read the ohter correctly. Most cancerians with their serene looks may look very unassuming & are most capable of springing surprises at people when least expected. LOL . Mind you they are extremely spontaneous. And extremely good at tearing the mask off a person... good or bad. And psssst they may not even reveal that they have seen beyond the mask.
Well.. that?s the usual American paranoia... and their commie stories? or Cubans or Arabs or China? Crazy Iranians or North Korean, who's next..?? Perhaps Canada and Europe?
Look at yourself and the history of (American paranoia and Xenophobia) lol.
But don?t change the subject?
I'll get back to you with the NATO stuff. Don?t worry.
but hey fortunate or unfortunate.. I'm leaving soon again.. this time like the last time is god know's where.
And, Oh speaking of Chinese... they don?t need advanced technology for destructions. Imagine 1.2 billion Chinese spit at the same time? there will be second Noah's flood. 🙂
Oh No Qbone you will be leaving again? Whom will Parallax lock his horns with? And you will be missed very much by the ladies. 🙂 Do keep in touch.
Parallax I would say my experience with the world has been similar. People taking the softness & empathy as weakness. And my speaking up led to the "two faced " label. I worked around this problem by assessing the level of my standing with any individual & accordingly state my views or lay down the boundaries right form the begining. Really semed to work well.
Now I leave you two Rams to clash your heads together- Man to Man ..Ahem!!!
To all you numnuts you just don't get it. the U.S.A. will be under Marshall law before the next election. already Bush has put Wolf a wizz over the world bank. Rummy is talking about how you can't aford to change leaders in time of war. Just a matter of time before they start rounding up the shit distrbers. Old Jake and Parellex will be in deteion camps.
Well Sweet-P I read the entire post on the political board. Same old thing. Two men stating their point of view as if it is meant to be a duel to the finish. If at all ladies make their presence felt , it is by cheering them & not mediating.
So the thing to do next time is just sit pretty and watch the men fight to the finish. And the winner will be treated to an exclusive 7 course dinner with the ladies to an exotic locale.
Parallax think of, we Euro Trash will go to hell without support of NATO? !! Now? with 500 bill. Deficit in US treasury it would be wise to get the NATO out of its (already useless) business?
EUROPE MUST CELEBRATE THAT DAY for stopping this American paranoia madness for over 60 years?
Hell.. back in 90's Norway said that they wanted to change their Air force equipments (100% American) to something more (European)? say buy "Euro Fighter" instead of stupid and aged "F-16" fighters? that?s it? Clinton was the first US president "EVER" have visited the Norway.. and guess what? after that? Norway Air Force bought "F-16" because we are in NATO and JSF?!
Someone said something about closing the NATO.. and Bush boy start his tour over the Europe?LMAO? how pathetic?..!! I simply love the way GERMANS handle that bozo.
Yeah man... everything here is EURO in case you don?t know?ahh? was that "made in china" or "Taiwan" hit you again..?? LOL
Take a look at you own cloths man? no need to check up other thing?. And you say we are jealous?. Well?. Define that please.. aren't that Europe ade stuff that damn luxury in the US..?? let me mention if you forget about cars, home stuff.. was it BMW..?? Mercedes..? Lamborgini..— nah.. Ferrari..?? oh.. perhaps was a Golf..or new WV Nooo it was SAAB?naw.. you blind bat.. it was Volvo.. eg. Euro Trash that your low life no good ass cant afford to pay for those stuff? stay on your cheap made Korean or Japan made trash para? soon be "Chinese" too!.. and fight for your Detroit made crap?! Ever wonder who made you keyboard and monitor..?? or computer components— Can you find a single label that says made in US..?? LOL?..!!
Every nations.. Even economically dependants nation in this world knows that.. US sux..!
What US dose is to first Bribes the nations for help then, make sure they pay 10 folds back and also force those to unite with their evil force? pretty standard scenario?! Typical N.Y. bankers?? bah.. Who am I talking to?. Forget it..!!
And thanks for the good wishes.. Typical American?LOL
You whining about Norwegians or Europeans— As I've said we were sadly being pushed to accept the damn NATO and its terms earlier, shamefully.. I swear nobody asked me about it or I personally would spit on that treaty.
But I'll promise you one thing?. The day of the US Empire are numbered, what you say is the futile attempt to stay above the water, do what you have to do.. but?.. Unlike the Americans that "love to kick a dead horse and celebrating" we Europeans will be ready to save your sorry "drowned" ass after all.
See? you count yourself as American while your roots are here?LOL?. Who's jealous then? HAHA.
Sorry that no one?"EVER" count you as European, so eat your heart in silent man and don?t shout it out?.. I understand your pain and misery as an "imported" American Amigo?!
It's true...all empires rise and fall and I believe the recent Afghan and Iraqi wars to be the start of the US demise...the sheer cost, arrogance through lack of concrete evidence and media coverage of it all are all are factors that will tell...
When will we understand that it is actually the formation of societies and nations themselves that is the cause of our constant state of war and conflict...—
Societies like nations rise and fall with their beliefs, agendas, role models, heroes, rules and one dominant religion. Bound by its very nature to the imperfect world in which it can only ever exist a society or nation is never "true" and never "real" because of its utter dependence on its members to actually exist.
When will we wake up and see that the importance is not that "FALSE" nations or societies may rise and fall nor which ones we may have chosen to belong to or not but that they are made up of us...of people with SOULS...the only REAL entities in the equations and only holders of REAL POWER to change anthing...!!!
We have to wake up and stop placing the importance of life outside of ourselves as individuals?
Life comes from within?as such our power comes from within ourselves?
Please change those "Euro-Scum" with "Americans" then the parallax point is more accurate and understandable.
Yeah? talk more Para? as I have mentioned earlier if talking about Euro-Scum makes you feel better then do it? but it is not going to change the fact that the days of your Empire are coming to end soon and?.. Fast..!
Are you ready for that day my good man... or you'll get collapsed as the way you do now..??
And how come you've said "George W Bush invasions and not the Americans...?" Are we talking about two subjects now?
If Americans really cared about the democracy, then why would they destroy the democracy in Iran by supporting the shah..?? Something about "operation Ajax" wakes your mind up..?? If not check this:
Of course...! Old buddies Britain and US.. Smells the OIL as usual.. Same goes for the Afghanistan and The Gas pipelines and Iraq's Oil and soon to be Arabs Oil under the cover name of democratically elections?.lol... sounds to me like "Erections" than "Elections", tell me you start kidding again..??
You've forgotten who supported Saddam back in 80's in Iraq-Iran war..?? Or supported the dreaded Taliban..??
And since when you've got some heart and pity on Palestinians..? 67 years ago Britain GAVE that occupied land to the Israelites and bugged out.. 67 years support of 3+ billion dollars of American tax payers money have been poured in to the Israel and as a sign of appreciations?. Suddenly the US "A bomb secret" got delivered to The Russians by Israeli agent? or the USS Wisconsin got hammered By the Israeli troops. (must have been Euro-Scum planes).
You know? you Americans are really strange..!!
*(the Scots, Irish and Tony Blair are exempt from the category of Euro-Scum).
And perhaps this sarcasm is not far from the truth..!!
RUMSFELD WARNS IRAQ NOT TO DO ANYTHING STUPID WITHOUT CALLING HIM FIRST.
"In a televised interview today, Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld said that Iraq?s nascent democracy was entering ?a crucial stage? and warned the Iraqi people, ?Don?t do anything stupid without calling me first.?
Mr. Rumsfeld, appearing on the Fox News Channel, looked directly into the camera to address the Iraqi people in a surprisingly stern tone of voice: ?Listen up, you Iraqis, because I am only going to say this once.?
The Defence Secretary then warned the Iraqi people against any ?horsing around? or ?monkey business? when it comes to choosing members of their first democratic government.
?I have personally busted my hump to bring democracy to that infernal country of yours and I don?t want to see you putting any Tom, Dick or Harry in charge,? he said.
Leaving little doubt that he intended to back up his words with action, Mr. Rumsfeld added, ?I gave democracy to you and I can take it away ? and don?t think I wouldn?t dare.?
He then recited his home phone number for Iraqis to call ?before you do anything stupid,? adding, ?If I?m not there, leave a message with Mrs. Rumsfeld.?
Turning to other matters, Rumsfeld had harsh words for the nation of Turkey, who in March of 2003 refused to let the U.S. invade Iraq from the north: ?They don?t call your country ?Jive-ass Turkey? for nothing.?
Elsewhere, the National Rifle Association criticized the practice of allowing terrorists to buy guns at gun shows, arguing that terrorists should ?go get their own gun shows.?
Since you were concern and scared about Euro-scum arms sales to China... see what your buddies in Israel did.. while you were busy with your ever growing American ego? ooopsss!! They did it again?!
Its not EURO SCUM its Euro Trash. If your going to slam someone get it right. Of course I am English so I see both sides of the coin so to speak. EURO TRASH VER American Traiders. All this over a tea tax now look at what you have. LOL
Parallax you label me an ideologist simply because I do not express myself in a way you yourself comprehend. You cling to your little box of self endorsed "right" and shun anything and anyone who clings to their own differing box of self indorsed "right".
Parallax you miss-understand my post as an ideology I am trying to preach as the way forward because that is the state of your worldly bound democratically perverted mind which either blindly tows the line through acceptance of policy all of it's life or struggles against it's self imposed belief of being oppressed...
Yes I do call GWB and his entourage arrogant because even though my high school history book may have taught me that Britain and Europe calved up the Middle East it is pure arrogance to believe it is your job to have to put it right let alone to attempt it with a heavy hand and call yourself a "freedom fighter" of the world who can bring and take away democracy...
To only allow the elections to take place after appointing a pawn as tempory governor and cealing the new oil pipline deal is not bringing democracy my friend it is exploiting the fragile minds of the suppressed for your own benefit.
If that is not arrogance enough for you Parallax how about the fact that the GWB and most Americans expect the world to buy into the "ideology" of the "American Dream" when there is just as much poverty, unemployment, racism, homelessness etc happening on your own doorstep as there is in any other part of the world...
Parallax you label me an idealist...what may I ask would you label yourself...and your hero GWB for that matter...?
The "realists" perhaps...?
May I suggest the hypocrites...as in...
..."thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"...
DAMM DURRE I thought I had you deported back to India, I must agree with Parallax the americans build the fighters. If you want to get right down to it the company who built them was McDonnell Doughlas. F15 F18 they took our invention the harrer jump jet and made it work, we used it in the falkland wars. no one has ever built a jet like Mc. they made the c 17. In the second wwII we had the spitfire and the Hurrcain and we did hold back the german hord, until the B25 and the B17 got here and we could fight back.
You complain that idealists are dreamers who take no real action suggesting what we need is more pragmatism in the world but the real truth Parallax is that there is no boundary between fact and fiction to the individual but the mind itself...and even then...we are the actual judges and juries in own lives who have the final say in our minds decision...
How many times have you said one thing to a person while harbouring your actual feelings and sense of truth...sending them on their way with their own desired decision and version of the truth...but it's NOT like that at all...?
We ALL do it ALL the time...!!!
Any information taken on board up until the point of actual self discovery is blind faith Parallax and even in your "free" and "democratic" world...we as the public are on a need to know basis with regard to intelligence. Intelligence that has been twisted, beaten and cut into bite size peaces ready for all those willing to easily swallow ensuring the best desired effects for the bigots who initially acquired that information.
Now I can hear you saying that I am still no different to you in my decision not to support GWB because I myself still do not know the "real" truth about 911 or Iraq either and you?re right Parallax I don?t...but that doesn?t mean that I am willing as you are to take the side of any of the unproven parties arguments.
Bush, Bin Laden and Hussein and all exactly the same...control freaks bound by their will to a worldly acceptance of fact...they can only see in black and white and their minds are as hard and defined as the ground they worship. The mind is not hard nor defined like but malleable...they are all so used to having things their way that none of them will budge and resistance will only strengthen their resolve.
You suggest GWB has made pragmatic choices regarding Iraq Parallax...well then...where are the WMD...?
You then kind of accept defeat and suggest that it is ok that GWB lied through his teeth to satisfy what are essentially his own ideals. Ideals built of his very own paranoia which forced his sense of reason to see war as the ONLY valid and in his own words "righteous" action. Your next suggestion is the scariest of all...that it?s all ok anyway because Iraq is now better off in it?s state of democracy.
You call yourself free...? Life in your "free" and "democratic" world of policy is not free Parallax. We are dictated to on every level of our lives...from home policy in our own back yards to foreign policy, employment, education, fiscal Policy, public sector and the list goes on and on to encapsulate every aspect of our waking and sleeping lives all designed to take away the one thing that is our true gift as human beings...our individuality...
I?ll tell you why more people voted in Iraq than in the US and UK...because the souls that live there have had your precious and "free" democratic way of life for long enough now to start realising that it makes NO difference which box they might tick on their ballot paper...because they are all the same...they all promise what they can NEVER deliver and politicians are the most stupid of us all to believe they can change the world in their limited time in this life.
We?ll see how many people turn out to the polling stations 2 ? 3 hundred years from now Parallax...we?ll see...
Yes I agree with you Parallax...I am an idealist but then so is every person whether they accept it or not because as I?ve explained above...we as individuals can only ever be the product of our own thought patterns and self accumulated position of conscience i.e. our ideas...fact has NOTHING to do with it...we create our own reality...that is the fact!
Your reality whether you like it or not is that of a hypocrite Parallax... You would rather have blood on your hands in the interests of being "pragmatic" despite your God telling
This is not about little boys with big toys...they are the problem...and anyone else who thinks that owning these instruments of destruction is part of that base mentality...
Learn to think with your entire being and not just the appendange between your legs you fool...
Leaving little doubt that he intended to back up his words with action, Mr. Rumsfeld added, ?I gave democracy to you and I can take it away ? and don?t think I wouldn?t dare.?
This is the main reason that people resist the American version of democracy "the given democracy can be taken" and the American always believe the rest of the world are stupid and are willing to accept what their little guys in N.Y dictating with their military and their BIG GUNS.
1- DEMOCRACY IS NOT TO BE GIVEN!
2- DEMOCRACY IS NOT A FREEDOM!
Of course, normal Americans like parallax has a blind faith to their government and proud to be patriot (in other humans expenses), lets see how parallax would react if (god forbid) his own kid ought to be killed in the disputes (THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE U.S. TERRITORY OR CONSTITUTIONS AND CIVIL RIGHTS).
How much innocent blood must be spilled till these damn N.Y bankers get satisfied.?
DURRE & OBONE when the smoke clears you will be living like sewer rats under the thumb of the oppresser. when they say bend over you will say (why did bush and tony not stop them. How did we become slaves to these people we offered them lov. I just don't under stand.) and speaking for the New York & London bankers we want two pints from everyone. Three pints from you two. If you don't have the balls to stand up for your own freedom then you desirve what you get.
Meet me at weatherspoons in Canterbury on that day I will buy. or any time come on to Llandrindod Wells Wales go to the metropolatian hotel ask them to ring up Tate to come down he owes you a pint or two. That would get the whole town a buzz if we went off by the fire had a few pints and talked without any one hearing they would talk about it for years to come. Just don't bring Durre or Old Bone.
James you say that you can't understand how I don't have the balls to stand up to terrorism. What is blatantly clear also James is that you don't understand that no amount of counter terrorism will EVER stop terrorism. Let me put it into terms you may better understand..."you're pissin' into the wind init bruv".
Forget whether those means of counter terrorism are legal, fair, just or not..."counter terrorism" never has, and it never will stop "terrorism" James...and if Parallax were to put as much faith in ALL of his history books, and not just the ones that suit his "ideals" he would uderstand that fact too...
I totally agree with you Q...democracy is NOT a freedom. With its re-active policies to "problems" that always raise their heads...over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over (ok you get the point) again...nothing EVER changes or is ever quelled but simply strengthens it's resolve through repitition...much like meditation infact.
Americans wonder why it is that the world does not share their views of greatness regarding "their" land...but never stop to think of the true consequences of their spoon fed mentality drumed into them from the earliest of ages over and over again with the stars and stripes plastered everywhere they turn imprinting itself in their minds while the national anthem droans on before every sporting event whether inhouse or not...oops I forgot...it's patriotism...
Don't you wish the self professed upholders of liberty and freedom could just once...just once...look unbiasedly into their own back yards and see that they too have ALL of the problems that the rest of the worlds nations have...?
Take care all...much love and light to all... As always... Durrie.

Moscow Moved Weapons to Syria and Lebanon
According to a former top Bush administration official, Russian special forces teams moved weapons of mass destruction out of Iraq to Syria.
"I am absolutely sure that Russian Spetsnatz units moved WMD out of Iraq before the war," stated John Shaw, the former deputy undersecretary for international technology security.
Story Continues Below
According to Shaw, Russian units hid Saddam's arsenal inside Syria and in Lebanon's Bekka valley.
"While in Iraq I uncovered detailed information that Spetsnatz units shredded records and moved all WMD and specified advanced munitions out of Iraq to Syria and Lebanon," stated Shaw during an exclusive interview.
"I received information from several sources naming the exact Russian units, what they took and where they took both WMD materials and conventional explosives. Moscow made a 2001 agreement with Saddam Hussein to clear up all Russian involvement in WMD systems in Iraq," stated Shaw.
Shaw's assertions match the information provided by U.S. military forces that satellite surveillance showed extensive large-vehicle traffic crossing the Syrian border prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Moscow Paranoid About WMD
Shaw's information also backs allegations by a wide variety of sources of Russia's direct involvement in Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program. One U.N. bioterrorism expert announced that Russia has been Iraq's "main supplier of the materials and know-how to weaponize anthrax, botulism and smallpox."
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Robert Goldberg cited former U.N. weapons inspector Richard Spertzel, who stated that Moscow supplied Baghdad with fermentation equipment to produce biotoxins.
According to Spertzel, the Russians on the U.N. inspection team in Iraq were "paranoid" about his efforts to uncover smallpox production.
Goldberg noted that no country has "done more to rebuild" Saddam's chemical and biological weapons programs or "been more aggressive in helping hide the truth" than Russia.
It is a fact that Saddam Hussein rose to power backed by Russian weapons and Russian money. Saddam was in debt to Moscow for over $ 8 billion for the arms he purchased from Russia when he was captured by U.S. forces.
The primary Iraqi chemical weapons were VX nerve gas and mustard gas, a blistering agent, both obtained from Russia.
According to the book "Russian Military Power," published in 1982, "It is known that the Soviets maintain stocks of CW (chemical weapons) agents."
The two primary Russian chemical weapons in the 1982 Soviet inventory were the nerve agent "VX" and "blistering agents - developments of mustard gas used so effectively in World War I."
Russian Chemical Weapons in Iraq
Iraq did most of its WMD killing using Russian-made MiG and Sukhoi aircraft equipped with chemical sprayers. In addition, Saddam used French-made artillery and helicopters to dump gas on Iranian troops and Iraqi Kurds.
Iraq obtained Russian delivery systems and the same inventory of Russian-made chemical weapons at the same time. Iraqi SU-22 Fitter attack jets were armed with Warsaw Pact-designed bombs filled with chemical weapons. Iraq used these Russian jet fighters to drop chemical weapons on Iranian troops during the Iran-Iraq war.
Iraq tried to use these SU-22 jets during the 1991 Gulf War, but they were detected and destroyed on the ground before they could launch a deadly chemical attack.
Other Russian weapons found with chemi
