"I do not understand the reluctance to use the gas. I am strongly in favor of using poison gas against the barbarian tribes ... The moral effect will be good. We broadcast a perennial terror "...
Sir Winston Churchill about Kurdish rebels
The merit of Winston Churchill is to be honest. He has no qualms to gas people , and he rebels against those who are against. He explains that there is nothing to since they are barbarian tribes that must be demoralized by terror. Incidentally Winston Churchill without qualms knows he speaks terror, but despite that it persists and signs in this paper to describe the facts, we will talk about the current justices imposing Western doxa based like the good old days the fact the Prince of princes might say-and letter stamp for the current version of the peasants punitive particularly fond socialists to the point of use and abuse. This, for some of France Guy Mollet part warring with his longtime partner, perfidious Albion and the inevitable Israel when it comes to the Arabs not until the "punishment" promised Syria Holland by the knight without fear and without reproach, frustrated not to do battle without the protection of the U.S. umbrella.
The history of the use of chemical weapons
We have in a previous paper describes the history of the use of chemical weapons by the wildfires consuming a certain Calllinicus had developed Greek fire was on the combination of an oxidizer, saltpetre, with combustible substances such as tar. Much later, it was Germany who used the first chemical weapons in 1915-1917: liquid chlorine and phosgene and mustard blister and poison gas (or mustard). In response, Britain and France also produced the lethal gas. The nervine Tabun gas, which causes death by suffocation, was discovered in 1936 by researchers from the German company IG Farben in 1930, Italy used chemical weapons in Libya and Ethiopia in 1936
Western countries shriek of outrage, must remember that they are the inventors and sellers of these weapons of the tragic death. Camus wrote about this in Agoravox:
"(...) As for the tragedy of gassing Kurdish village of Halabja in 1988 probably should make it to the surface of forgetting what wrote Barry Lando, former U.S. channel CBS in Le Monde of 17 October 2005 that it was necessary to remember that "the Iraqi chemical weapons were provided mainly by French companies, Belgian and German, including engineers and chemists knew exactly what Saddam prepared. Or that the United States had previously provided Saddam the satellite images for him to attack Iranian troops with chemical weapons "(1)
When Winston Churchill approved the poison gas
Before becoming the icon of the resistance to Nazism, is a bed appeared in the Guardian contribution Winston Churchill was first a strong supporter of the British Empire and a Bolshevik convinced. At the point of advocating the use of gas that had been the terror of the trenches. (...) Winston Churchill, then Secretary of State for War, sweeping their scruples of hand. For a long time supporter of chemical warfare, it was decided to use against the Bolsheviks in Russia. During the summer of 1919, ninety-four before the devastating attack in Syria, Churchill will prepare and launch a large-scale chemical attack. This is not the first time that the British use of poison gas. During the Third Battle of Gaza [against the Ottomans] in 1917, General Edmund Allenby fired 10,000 shells poison gas on enemy positions. However the development of the "machine M", a highly toxic gas, diphénylaminechloroarsine described as "the most effective chemical weapon ever devised. (2)
In 1919 Winston Churchill, then Secretary of State for War decides to use the mass media we read in the writings of Camus:
"A program is executed to the letter by Lt. Col. Arthur Harris that he boasted in these terms:" The Arabs and Kurds now know what real bombing means ... In 45 minutes we are able to raze a village to kill or injure a third of its population. " Twenty-five years later Winston Churchill, true to himself, professed ideas about the same about the National Socialist Reich (...) add honesty by the British use of aerial attacks with mustard gas - Yperite - including Sulaimaniyah in Kurdistan on the border between Iran and Iraq in 1925 - a year after the signing of the Geneva Protocol prohibits "the use in war of asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases and of bacteriological methods of warfare" - was not a practical completely isolated, the Spanish in the Rif [1921-1927], the Japanese in China who was not private use "it. (1)
France and his "expertise" in chemical weapons
France as all Western nations developed an intensively combat gases including from the first World War. His expertise has been exported to several countries. Despite all the agreements signed, she kept a base in Algeria experimentation. Fabrice Nicolino wrote about it:
"Gaullist France has forgotten the chemical weapons B2 Namus. The socialist France has forgotten the 5000 deaths of Halabja. On 16 March 1988 the Mirage made in France cast off on the Kurdish city - Iraq - Halabja full of a cocktail of mustard gas and tabun, sarin rockets. 5000 dead. (...) The urgency of supporting Saddam Hussein, rais Iraq, against the mullahs in Tehran. And as we know, not a word of Holland, at that time one of the experts of the Socialist Party. It is true that it is not tomorrow the day they will have to explain the secret base B2 Namus. former experimental base of chemical & bacteriological (...) De Gaulle's obsession we know: the size, the power. The first atomic bomb exploded in our February 13, 1960 in the region of Reggane in the heart of then French Sahara. What is less known is that the Gaullist government's dealing then with Algeria Ahmed Ben Bella to keep the Sahara secret military bases. The French nuclear testing became underground, continued in the Hoggar near In Ecker, until 1966. France signed in 1925 an international convention banning the use of chemical weapons, but worth the scraps of paper? Between 1921 and 1927, the Spanish army is conducting a chemical terror war against the Moroccan Rif insurgents. And we now know that the virtuous France had formed the "technicians" and sold phosgene and mustard in Madrid. "(3)
Fabrice Nicolino then speaks of the Evian agreements that allow France to maintain military bases they have returned to their natural state:
"In addition Reggane and Ecker, B2 Namus, a polygon of 10 by 60 kilometers south of Beni Unif, near the Moroccan border. In a note to the French staff, we read: "The facilities B2-Namus were performed in order to conduct live-fire artillery shells or weapons of saturation with persistent toxic chemicals and trials of aviation bombs and aggressive chemical and biological tests spreading. " In 1997, Defence Minister Alain Richard said: "The installation of B2 Namus was destroyed in 1978 and restored to its natural state." In February 2013, the journalist Marianne Jean-Dominique Merchet reveals a secret agreement was reached between France and Algeria It covers the cleanup of B2 Namus, "made in nature" thirty years ago " (3).
The use of chemical weapons by the United States
It is impossible to describe the dice many circumstances in which chemical weapons were used. Suffice it to bring the philosophy of the greatest champion of the use of these weapons of horror:
"Certainly we read on Agoravox penned by Camus, as if to make obscure distinctions between dead shredded in conventional or suffocated to nerve gas bombs. And the Anglo-Americans should start by putting their dirty doors instead of playing offended and holy innocents. (...) Is not that Washington indeed gave a ruthless chemical warfare in Vietnam between 1961 and 971 with massive spreading - 80 million gallons - Agent Orange, a defoliant containing the dioxin? These are 2.1 to 4.8 million Vietnamese have been affected by this highly mutagenic compound whose effects are still felt today "(1)
Massimo Fini asked to turn on the moral authority of the United States:
"(...) But what I want to understand is where exactly is the moral authority of the United States that allow you to draw" red lines "on the use of chemical weapons. They are the ones who, in 1985, furnished with Saddam in power in its fight against the Iranians and then against the Kurds. (...) In the war against Serbia, the USA used it bombs with depleted uranium. (...) One can easily imagine the effect of this "depleted uranium" on Serb civilians and especially children who move to 1 m above the ground and are accustomed to touch everything in 2001 to capture bin Laden, Americans drowned the mountains of Afghanistan under the depleted uranium bombs and the Minister of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that "to hunt terrorists, we will also use poison gas and chemical weapons. "We see the results today. An Afghan farmer, called Sadizay says: "A NATO raid destroyed my house, killed my wife and three of my son. But when I saw my nephew born without arms and legs, then I realized that we Americans had flown to our future. "(4)
The secrecy surrounding the Israeli chemical gases
"These are written Thierry Meyssan, the Israeli research on chemical and biological weapons that have historically pushed Syria to reject the treaty banning chemical weapons. This is why the signing Damascus herein may highlight the existence and possibly the continuation of research on selective weapons designed to kill only Arabs. (...) A CIA document discovered recently revealed that Israel has also set up its own arsenal of chemical weapons. Intelligence officials in Washington believe that Israel has secretly manufactured and stockpiled chemical and biological weapons for decades to complete its alleged nuclear arsenal. in a secret CIA report in 1983. U.S. spy satellites spotted in 1982 "a production of chemical gas and a storage unit in the Negev desert." (5)
For Jean Shaoul, the conviction by the United States in the use of chemical weapons does not apply to Israel. He writes: "(...) No moral obligation of this kind is, however, invoked against Israel, a country that holds the largest stock of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons in the Middle East, and is the only State has not signed the nuclear non-proliferation. As noted by the Foreign Policy Web Site Monday, September 9, not only for decades the United States are aware of Israeli chemical weapons, but they kept silent about them. It is not just that Israel has a substantial arsenal of chemical weapons. It is used against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, against Lebanon and Gaza during the military onslaught in 2006 and during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza in 2008-2009. (...) A memorandum of agreement 1980 Conventional Weapons prohibits the use of white phosphorus as an incendiary weapon (...) The investigation report of the UN Goldstone report, reiterated the findings of numerous international investigations followed, confirming the disproportionate use Israeli force against the Palestinians, and accusations of war crimes against Israel and Hamas as well as "probable crimes against humanity," including the use of white phosphorus by Israel. It is said that the Israeli forces have behaved so "systematically reckless" in their use of white phosphorus in built-up areas, citing the Israeli attack against the building of the care agency and the UN's work in Gaza City, the attack on the Al Quds Hospital and the Al Wafa hospital.

We often speak of the "Pax Americana" to denote the order resulting from the hegemony of the United States. This position of strength is not a guarantee of balance and peace in the world. Thus the United States to intervene in chronically strategic interest to the story that began in 1846: Mexican-American War, the United States annexed California. It was also, without being exhaustive, the Korean War (1950-1953), Vietnam (1968-1975). This continued for the recent period with the war in Vietnam or hundreds of tons of orange chemicals were dumped creating death and destruction for decades, it will be then or the Iraq War (2003) the Iraqi drama of airborne democracy because dozens of people every day has not ended with the inhuman hanging of Saddam Hussein in 2011 it was the sacking of Libya and abject lynching of Gaddafi. a total of sixty six external interventions for the most bloody. " What happened to the revelations of Carla del Ponte?
Should we recall that in March 2013 the Syrians had called on the UN to come investigate the terrorist use of chemical weapons "I decided that the United Nations conduct an investigation into the possible use of chemical weapons in Syria, "said Secretary General of the UN Ban Ki-moon to the press. He said that the investigation in response to a formal request of Damascus, will be launched "as soon as practicable" and focus on "the specific incident that was reported to me the Syrian government" It accuses the opposition of have used chemical weapons on Tuesday in Khan al-Assal, near Aleppo (north) (7).
According to the Swiss magistrate Carla del Ponte, a member of the Commission of Inquiry of the UN, the Syrian rebels have used sarin gas, highly toxic and banned by international law. "According to the evidence we have collected, the rebels have used chemical weapons, making use of sarin gas," This statement of Carla del Ponte, was made in an interview with the Italian Swiss Radio in the night from Sunday to Monday . "(from the site ZINFO 974) These" friendly "rebels, these brave revolutionaries, no longer able to hide their true face, that of criminal mercenaries. (8)
The Will in inveterate war
In this atmosphere of saber-rattling and threats of all kinds, with a charge of use of sarin by the Syrian army, fires boute always the same, do not want to be frustrated they need their war for Israel Ahmed's peace Bensaada written about:
"Bernard-Henri Lévy (BHL), the warrior dandy is back. The circle of dancers around the fire is well stocked and there is everything from illustrious neoconservatives (neocons), defenders of Israel staunchly pro-Zionist, former members of the Bush administration, Islamophobic notorious of American with dual nationality étasunienne / Israeli, of going into the war responsible for the invasion of Iraq, fierce critics of Iran, and to perfect, some Syrian opposition pro-American decorum. It is this gathering consists of 74 pompously described as "foreign policy experts" who has signed a letter to Obama, urging it to "respond decisively by imposing measures having a significant impact on the system Assad ". At a minimum, they say "the United States, with its allies and partners who wish should use long-range weapons and air power to hit the military units of the Syrian dictatorship who were involved in the recent use large-scale chemical weapons. "(9)
Charles de Gaulle wrote in his time, that "the weapons were tortured but also shaped the world. They have done the best and the worst, the infamous birth as well as the largest in turn crawled into horror or radiated in glory. Shameful and beautiful, their story is that of men. " The war story all all is never clean, it is in fact the failure of the unarmed word is empathy to the plight of the weak. Surely humanity is doomed.
