ISIS Unleashed Mustard Gas Attack In Iraq, US Officials Claim

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A long time ago, in a proxy war far, far away, some YouTube videos (around 100 of them apparently) “proved” that Bashar al-Assad’s regime had unleashed a horrific chemical attack on its own people.

In a lengthy report subtly titled "Syrian Government’s Use of Chemical Weapons on August 21, 2013,” US officials laid out their reasoning for trusting the veracity of the clips, and while you can read the entire report here, the punchline is this: “We have identified one hundred videos attributed to the attack, many of which show large numbers of bodies exhibiting physical signs consistent with, but not unique to, nerve agent exposure. We assess the Syrian opposition does not have the capability to fabricate all of the videos.”

That’s right, the US very nearly started World War 3 based on Washington’s assessment of the Syrian opposition’s video editing capabilities. 

Fast forward to March when, almost two years after the first round of YouTube chemical attack videos nearly led to US strikes on Damascus, Washington still hadn’t managed to stir up enough public support for an invasion (which may have something to do with the fact that most Americans couldn’t even identify Syria on a map let alone tell you anything about its four-year old civil war) and lo and behold Reuters reported that “a group monitoring the Syrian civil war said government forces carried out a poison gas attack that killed six people in the northwest, and medics posted videos of children suffering what they said was suffocation."

That prompted the John Kerry to send the following message to the Syrian regime: “Assad must be held accountable for atrocious behavior [and] military pressure may be needed to oust [him]”

Well, five months later and the American public still doesn’t care about Syria or Assad (after all, there are more pressing issues to worry about, like Cecil), but one thing it does care about is ISIS which is why now, the West will try to tie Islamic State to chemical weapons and see if that’s effective at bolstering support for boots on the ground. Here’s CNN

The U.S. is investigating what it believes are "credible" reports that ISIS fighters used mustard agent in an attack against Kurdish Peshmerga this week, causing several of them to fall ill, U.S. officials working in at least three separate parts of the Obama administration said Thursday.

 

All of them strongly emphasized more intelligence is being gathered on exactly what may have happened near the town of Makhmour in northern Iraq.

 


And here’s WSJ explaining that ISIS most likely obtained the mustard gas in Syria or maybe in Iraq where stockpiles belonging to Assad and Saddam Hussein, respectively, were supposed to have been destroyed but weren’t: 

Islamic State militants likely used mustard agent against Kurdish forces in Iraq this week, senior U.S. officials said Thursday, in the first indication the militant group has obtained banned chemicals.

 

The officials said Islamic State could have obtained the mustard agent in Syria, whose government admitted to having large quantities in 2013 when it agreed to give up its chemical-weapons arsenal.

 

The possibility that Islamic State obtained the agent in Syria “makes the most sense,” said one senior U.S. official. It is also possible that Islamic State obtained the mustard agent in Iraq, officials said, possibly from old stockpiles that belonged to Saddam Hussein and weren’t destroyed.

 

U.S. intelligence agencies are still investigating the source and how it could have been delivered this week on the battlefield, officials said.

 

Islamic State has taken control of territory in Syria close to where President Bashar al-Assad’s forces stored chemical weapons, including mustard agent. The regime said in 2013 that all of its mustard stockpiles had been destroyed, either by Syrian forces themselves or by international inspectors.

 

Inspectors, however, have subsequently said they weren’t able to verify claims by the Syrian government that it had burned hundreds of tons of mustard agent in earthen pits. U.S. intelligence agencies now say they believe Damascus hid some caches of deadly chemicals from the West, possibly including mustard.

WSJ goes on the say that as of now, it's "unclear how much mustard Islamic State might have obtained," and the German ministry says we won't know for sure whether any mustard was spread until a team of German experts (who are "on their way to the scene") have had a chance to assess the situation. "What it was exactly we don’t know," a spokesman said. 

But that's ok because the US does know courtesy of multiple "independent reports." And if that's not good enough for you, just ask Congressman Adam Schiff, a ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence:

"Did ISIS find some mustard? We think they did. We think they have used it."

 


And John McCain agrees, as is clear from the following tweet, in which the Senator encourages you to read a completely unbiased WSJ Opinion piece called "Islamic State Gets Mustard Gas: Assad’s stockpiles weren’t destroyed, and the jihadists have them".

McCain - who, you're reminded, is the poster child for foreign policy failures in Syria and Ukraine - seems to have completely missed the irony in his retweeting an article in which the very first line reads: "foreign-policy failures have a way of compounding." 

In any event, we suspect it won't be long before John Kerry tells the nation that it might be necessary to use further "military pressure" to hold ISIS accountable for their "atrocious behavior" which is now in direct contravention of another international warfare "norm". As for seeing "proof" that Islamic State did indeed "find and use some mustard," don't hold your breath (unless there's mustard gas around):

While there have been accounts posted in social media about the incident, the officials said they have independent information that strongly led them to assess there was a use of chemical weapons. The officials would not tell CNN what evidence led them to this belief.

that is idiocy. Yes, we broke it. But interventionism just begets more interventionism. You are literally asking the US govt to fix the problem the US govt created in the first place. "Our intervention in Iraq, to get rid of saddam, is what created ISIS. Therefore we have to go back into Iraq(for the third fuckin time) and Syria to get rid of ISIS"

 

That kind of logic sounds like krugman telling the fed to blow a housing bubble to replace the dotcom bubble.

Aw c'mon..

This is like cleaning the vomit up after you got your buddy to drink a .750 of Scotch.

There is no harm putting a few A-10s on top of convoys of rogue terrorists.

I want out of there too, but we have a little responsibility to clean up some of the mess.

If we totally walk away right now, don't be surprised if a highly organized and well established Islamic State starts exporting their love over here in a big way. 

 

Something else to consider..

Jefferson did a number on the Barbary Pirates because they (demanded tribute) acted against American interests.  

ISIS barbarians have so far murdered 4 totally innocent Americans.. James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Peter Kassig, Kayla Mueller.. that certainly is not in our interest.

You might have misunderstood my sentiment..  I agree that we have no business messing with Syria or Iraq in that area, but we have every right to do a number on ISIS.

Bring out the A-10s.

They are bringing it to us as we speak.

Again.. I believe we have no business messing with other sovereigns, but ISIS is a different case altogether.

It's not like the U.S. had to tell ISIS to use CWs.

They just put some mustard shells in the daily ISIS supply shipment convoy from Turkey along with a few gas masks and warned them to be upwind of wherever they used these as IEDs. Technically, they didn't specifically order or tell ISIS to use them. How would the CIA have any idea that their proxy terrorists would actually use the chemical weapons supplied? They were just part of the shipment - it was ISIS's decision to actually use them.

Next up; a small nuclear dirty bomb in one of the U.S.'s ISIS supply shipments along with a few Geiger counters. .GOV: "Hey - we didn't tell them to USE the thing. We're INNOCENT!"

They sure seem eager to send in more U.S. soldiers now that ISIS has plenty of Humvees, German hand grenades, TOW-2As and training, shoulder-fired SAMs, mountains of RDX/HMX for IEDs, and now (apparently) mustard gas. Do we have to send them attack helicopters, too? This is going to get expensive.

In Infinite Love is the Only Truth (2005), Icke introduces the idea of "reptilian software." He says that there are three kinds of people. The highest level of the Brotherhood are the "Red Dresses." These are "software people," elsewhere called "reptilian software," or "constructs of mind," without consciousness, without free will. Their human bodies are holographic veils.

A second group, the so-called "sheeple"—the vast majority of humanity—have what Icke calls "back seat consciousness." They are conscious, but they do whatever they are told and are the main source of energy for the Brotherhood. They include the "repeaters," the people in positions of influence who simply repeat what other people have told them. Doctors repeat what they are told in medical school and by drug companies, teachers repeat what they learned at teacher training college, and journalists are the greatest repeaters of all.

The third group, by far the smallest, are those who see through the illusion; they are people like Neo from the film, The Matrix. They are usually dubbed dangerous or mad. The "Red Dress" genetic lines keep obsessively interbreeding to make sure their bloodlines are not weakened by the second or third levels of consciousness, because consciousness can rewrite the software.

Since 1950, sipri.org tracked almost all of the "known" arm sales flowing into the Middle East.

Most of the hardware (tanks/weapons/etc) came from the Soviet Union, and the chemical precursors for chemical weapons came from France and Germany. This is well documented if you know where to look.

Not that the US is completely innocent here, it's just that back then we had an iota of morality.

Even Wikipedia backs this up...

Saddam Hussein’s chemical warfare development and use can be divided into three phases:

  • Phase 1: January 1981 to June 1983, Iraq started testing chemical weapons.
  • Phase 2: August 1983 to December 1983, chemical weapons were used to a limited extent.
  • Phase 3: February 1984 to the end of the war, chemical weapons were used extensively.

Project 922 was the codename for Iraq's third and most successful attempt to produce chemical and biological weapons. Within three years (1978–1981), Project 922 had gone from concept to production for first generation Iraqi chemical weapons (mustard agent). By 1984 Iraq started producing its first nerve agentsTabun and Sarin. In 1986, a five-year plan was drawn up that ultimately led to biological weapons production. By 1988 Iraq had producedVX. The program reached its zenith in the late 1980s during the Iran-Iraq war. From August 1983 to July 1988 Iran was subjected to extensive Iraqi chemical attacks. Between 1981 and 1991, Iraq produced over 3,857 tons of CW agents.[citation needed]

As part of Project 922, German firms such as Karl Kolb helped build Iraqi chemical weapons facilities such as laboratories, bunkers, an administrative building, and first production buildings in the early 1980s under the cover of apesticide plant. Other German firms sent 1,027 tons of precursors of mustard gassarintabun, and tear gasses in all. This work allowed Iraq to produce 150 tons of mustard agent and 60 tons of Tabun in 1983 and 1984 respectively, continuing throughout the decade. All told, 52% of Iraq's international chemical weapon equipment was of German origin.[citation needed] One of the contributions was a £14m chlorine plant known as "Falluja 2", built by Uhde Ltd, a UK subsidiary of a German company; the plant was given financial guarantees by the UK's Export Credits Guarantee Department despite official UK recognition of a "strong possibility" the plant would be used to make mustard gas.[4] The guarantees led to UK government payment of £300,000 to Uhde in 1990 after completion of the plant was interrupted by the first Gulf War.[4] In 1994 and 1996 three people were convicted in Germany of export offenses.[5]

France also provided glass-lined reactors, tanks, vessels, and columns used for the production of chemical weapons. Around 21% of Iraq’s international chemical weapon equipment was French. 75,000 shells and rockets designed for chemical weapon use also came from Italy. About 100 tons of mustard gas also came from Brazil. The United States exported $500 million of dual use exports to Iraq that were approved by the Commerce Department. Among them were advanced computers, some of which were used in Iraq’s nuclear program. Austria also provided heat exchangers, tanks, condensers, and columns for the Iraqi chemical weapons infrastructure, 16% of the international sales. Singapore gave 4,515 tons of precursors for VX, sarin, tabun, and mustard gasses to Iraq. The Dutch gave 4,261 tons of precursors for sarin, tabun, mustard, and tear gasses to Iraq. Egypt gave 2,400 tons of tabun and sarin precursors to Iraq and 28,500 tons of weapons designed for carrying chemical munitions. India gave 2,343 tons of precursors to VX, tabun, Sarin, and mustard gasses. Luxembourg gave Iraq 650 tons of mustard gas precursors. Spain gave Iraq 57,500 munitions designed for carrying chemical weapons. In addition, they provided reactors, condensers, columns and tanks for Iraq’s chemical warfare program, 4.4% of the international sales. China provided 45,000 munitions designed for chemical warfare.

This is the break we have been looking for. Now ISIS can be brought before an International Tribunal on Crimes against humanity and we can end their madness once and for all with the help of the United Nations.

Whenever the militaryindustrialcomplex doesn't get their way they trot out the ol' "they used chemical weapons' meme.  One of the last emotional motivators of the US public.  Beheadings by ISIS (completely fabricated, faked via video - just see McCain's own laptop data) aren't enough for us so they had to go back to what's worked in the past... chemical weapons.

I don't buy it any more... "weapons from Iraq that were supposed to be destroyed but weren't".... BULLSHIT!!!

remember all the humanitarian aid we used to send to iran after saddam attacked? me neither. remember the weapons embargo against saddam during that long brutal border war? me neither. remember the democracy iraq had under saddam, or that iran had under the shah, or that the saudis have now? me neither. you'll forgive me if i don't believe the usa ptb want peace or freedom or democracy in the middle east, (or anywhere for that matter).

When you have a out of control chemical reaction before you, it's usually best to take a step back and let chemistry run it's course.

That's exactly how I feel about the entire middle east.

Reports of blue eyed men with British accents arriving in Turkey to join Isis.  Similar to what happened in Libya with the SAS helping take out Moammar Ghadafi.  If Assad meets a similar fate, God help the Christian population, or at least what's left of it.

How many did the US military vapourise in Hiroshima & Nagasaki?

How many were maimed there.

How many did US burn to death in the fire-bombing of Tokyo?

But that's OK because the US did it, and we all know the US are the good guys, right?

How many did the Brits fry in Dresden?

But that's OK 'cause the Brits are good guys too.

The Brits fried Dresden in the night, the US, not wanting to miss out on the 'fun' hit them with the USAAF B-17s the next day. All seemingly as a favour to Stalin.

The Brits of course took the 'blame' in the history books.

So let me get this straight, Assad who is fighting Isis gave Isis mustard gas?  The alternative theory being that there really were chemical weapons in Iraq that we accidentally didn't find?  The democrats must be losing their minds with the story doing a 180 like this.

And what has Putin been up to?

From RT:

"Lavrov met with Syrian National Coalition leader Khaled Khoja on Thursday to look for consensus on a political settlement in Syria. ...... One of the main sticking points remained the future of Syrian President Bashar Assad."

Yes Putin is hosting the butchers of Syria in Russia to negotiate a "political solution" and asking what they want to do with Assad.  Remember it was Putin who ultimately forced Syria to give up it's chemical weapons and Russia was key in forcing Iraq to give up chemical weapons.  Russia also approved the no fly zone on Libya.

Iran better be very suspicious of Putin/Russia.  All of Russia's susposed allies have been betrayed and stabbed in the back.  Putin could lead poor Iran into a situation where Putin "negotiates" a settlement with Israel/US over the sovergnity and new leadership of Iran.

With Friends Like Putin/Russia ......

The lies are sickening.  More than any mustard gas would be.  They don't need to use it, or create a fake scenario where they throw a little around.  All they have to do is claim it.  The only mustard over there is on kosher hot dogs.  It's simply a way to escalate the war.  By now, they should realize they don't even need to make up stories.  Just go on TV and tell the stupid American people who only panic if their sports channel goes out on cable for some reason.  Tell them that we are going to war because it's a good idea.  They'll swallow it right down, just like those mustardized hot dogs.

Actually it is about Chlorine not mustard gas. Chlorine is not prohibited since it kills those who use it as much as their enemies and was abandoned after WWI German fiasco. But perfect for suicidal gassers. Beans and sulfur oxide however is cheaper and more en naturel.

But who's doing the gassing? These are our boys doing the gassing from so-called moderate Syrian opposition trained in gassing and beheading and equipped within everything they soul desired for ten time the price paid by you and me, US taxpayer, before they split with cash and weapons and joined IS.

That’s why now there will be UN war tribunal but only for our guys that fucked Pentagon. Those who repent will return to the Washington bosom. You see, good beheader is hard to find theses days.

All becuz US wanted a regime change to corner the oil
