 SA> IRAN TOOK ADVANTAGE OF TIME IN THE SHADOWS TO BUILD POWER

 GP> Iran's always been the bad guy in the region!

With good reason.

 GP> escape to Iran, who then ALSO poison gassed them!

Here is a hyphothetical... let's accept that Iran gassed the Kurds,
using an agent such as cyanogens chloride or hydrogen cyanide in
Halabja.

Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that Iran still has such agents
("WMD"), or the means to produce & deliver such agents?

If the US Army War College & the CIA accept that Iran used such agents
against the Kurds (and indeed against Iraqi forces), why doesn't the
US Administration dance & wave & shout about Iranian "WMD"?

I have to keep an open mind about what gas agents Iran might have used,
(and thus might have expertise to produce & deliver in future) as I can
only go by reports on the 'net, which might be disinformation, but if
you have any evidence or sources, feel free to post them.

Cheers, Steve..
