Gulf War Syndrome

Military Made? Outrageous U.S. Germ Warfare Program Backfires While Military

& Media Stage Cover-up

A cover-up of immense proportions is under way in the U.S. Defense

Department, with the complicity of the media. It's about the origin of Gulf

War Syndrome (GWS), a disease similar to chronic fatigue syndrome and with

31 different symptoms. GWS has already taken the lives of at least 6,000

U.S. soldiers and infected an estimated 100,000 more of those who fought in

the 1991 Gulf War. It may also be entering the general civilian population,

but the media are conspicuously silent on the true source of GWS.

While the Pentagon is now finally admitting that the destruction of an

ammunition dump in southern Iraq in March 1991 may have exposed 15,000 U.S.

soldiers to toxic nerve gas and chemical agents, possibly producing GWS, the

reality may be far worse.

Evidence suggests that our soldiers were poisoned by our own germ warfare

agents developed by the U.S. military and sold in the 1980s to the Iraqis,

who then used them against us in the Gulf War. These conclusions sound

unbelievable yet they are supported by testimony and documents presented

during U.S. Congressional hearings on the investigation of GWS by the Senate

Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Senator W. Riegle,

Jr. (D-Michigan), who led the investigation, submitted his report to the

Senate on February 9, 1994.

The Riegle Committee, with actual shipping invoices, batch numbers, company

names, and inventories in hand, proved that during the 1980s the U.S.

government provided Iraq with 28 different germ warfare agents for use

against Iran in their nearly decade-long conflict.

Senator Riegle's 2-year investigation showed that U.S. forces destroyed 12

biological and 18 chemical facilities in Iraq during the war, releasing into

the air huge amounts of toxic substances which subsequently drifted over the

troops. It is now known that up until 2 weeks before Iraq's invasion of

Kuwait in August 1991, U.S. trained experts were working with Iraqi

scientists in Baghdad to develop biological agents as weapons.
