Mq Re VX Gas Antidote: "When and how do you know?" Iraq Seeks Nerve Gas Antidote NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2002 (CBS) In a sign that Saddam Hussein may use chemical weapons in a conflict with the U.S., Iraq has ordered a million doses of a nerve gas antidote from a company in neighboring Turkey. <snip> cbsnews.com Iraq Said to Try to Buy Antidote Against Nerve Gas (November 12, 2002) By Judith Miller The New York Times www.nytimes.com Iraq has ordered large quantities of a drug that can be used to counter the effects of nerve gas, mainly from suppliers in Turkey, which is being pressed to stop the sales, according to senior Bush administration officials. The officials said the orders far outstripped the amount Iraq could conceivably need for normal hospital use, and they said Turkey had indicated in talks with the State Department that it was willing to review the matter. <snip> iraqfoundation.org Sometimes it seems like the degree of concern correlates to the distance from the threat. New Zealand is 15,500 km (~10k miles) from Iraq. San Francisco is 12,000 km away. How smug would the same folks be if they were within range of Iraqi artillery (...or an Al Qaeda agent). BTW Mq, please don't hold your breath while waiting for the New World Order...don't want you to meet that "Spook in the Sky" before your time. ;-)
