Isn't blowing up chlorine trucks a form of chemical warfare?

Question

I heard the Iraqi insurgents were doing this. How is this anywhere close to not being chemical warfare?

Answer 1

Yes, it is chemical warfare.

I can't understand how people can think that Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction when Hussein killed 5000 Kurds in one fell swoop. Just because it's not nuclear doesn't mean it's not capable of mass destruction.

Answer 2

Yes it is chemical warfare. And the US was backing Iraq through out Iraq's war against Iran and was using other killing chemicals they were thought to be allowed by three US. This being claimed -- who gave the Iraqis the knowledge and the plants to enabling cooking up the batches of chemicals needed to bomb anyone.
The US should have known about the chemicals they were working on. By having advisers on the ground helping with strategy. Also with the help of military satellites showing what is happening on the ground.

The twenty-second of April 1915 all began as a warmth and sunny day, via the end of the afternoon a breeze sprang up from the North. The wind got here from in the back of German lines, in the direction of the Allies (British, French, Algerians)who were in position at Langemarck, close to Ypres, Belgium. The German guns that were bombarding the Allies all day without be conscious stopped firing. At 5 o'clock, 3 pink rockets streaked into the sky, signaling the starting up of a deafing artillery barrage. severe explosive shells pounded into the abandoned city of Ypres and the villages round it. mutually the troops sheltering close to Langemarck observed 2 greenish-yellow clouds upward thrust from the enemy's lines, catch the wind and billow ahead, fradually merging to style a unmarried economic corporation of blue-white mist. German chemical conflict pioneers were beginning the valves of six thousand cylinders spread out alongside 4 miles. Chemical conflict had began. i'm hoping that's what your searching for.

I think it is a form of chemical warfare. Of course, it is hard to respond in kind if it is being done by insurgents because they blend in with the local population. But if it turns out that Iran is behind these attacks, then we should defend ourselves accordingly.

YES!!!! Chlorine is a chemical. It is used to hurt more people. If you don't believe me try dumping a truck load of it in a river while calling the EPA. It would kill all of the aquatic life. You would go to jail for trying to destroy the environment.. Just goes to show how important people are doesn't it?
