Ret. Lt. Gen. says a dumb thing on Wash. Journal

[ensho]

Ret. Lt. Gen. Robert Gard was at the table with Frank creep Gaffney.

they were discussing which countries had nukes; what countries should have nukes; which countries should not, etc.

and it was said that since the 1968 nuke agreement the US had not used nukes.

but, but, said a caller. what about depleted uranium in Iraq? the Ret. Lt. Gen. said:

oh we didn't explode anything nuke in Iraq. he said depleted uranium doesn't hurt you if it gets on your skin or clothing, only if you inhale it.

since DU is on the missiles, bombs, it does explode! it is all over Iraq, blowing about, causing cancers, birth defects, etc., etc.

criminals one and all.

1. Why did he use the qualifier "since 1968"?

Is he implying that the US used nukes sometime between 1945 and 1968?

Given the proclivity of "battle field" nukes could we actually have used a low yield "bunker buster" at some point during that period?

3. I'm pretty sure it's in reference to testing... n/t

[POAS]

4. I thought of that after posting......but still!!!

I'd like to see/hear his exact wording.

[ensho]

6. that was when countries signed the no nuke package deal

Wash. Journal has had a portion of each day's program devoted to things that happened in 1968

2. He was lying. He fully intended to mislead. He knows that the

true 'believers' are stupid enough to believe this bullshit.

5. Did he happen to mention how it helps keep the ground water fresh as well?

Did he happen to bring up the fact that poisoning the water in a desert is a crime against nature as well as a crime against humanity?

[ensho]

7. no he did not mention that - but he did smile benignly at the camera
