Bless his heart. Moscow’s Emeritus Professor, Shaikh M. Ghazanfar
<http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~ghazi/resume.html>, must be getting his
fake news these days from the far-far left, out of orbit progressive
websites. He says that the USA, under Gen. Mattis, has used chemical
weapons in Iraq and Afghanistan. And that Israel has been using chemical
weapons in Gaza!

He writes in the *Moscow-Pullman Daily News*
<http://dnews.com/opinion/letter-chemical-weapons-imperial-privilege/article_c089af16-b613-5ffa-953c-3d1043871335.html>
:

The recent chemical-weapons carnage in Syria is universally condemned – and
rightly so. The gruesome pictures humanized even President Donald Trump
(“no child of God should suffer such horror”), and he responded
appropriately.

However, Nikki Haley, our UN ambassador, had noted, “We don’t know yet the
source of yesterday’s attack.”

And the UN is investigating. Former Sen. Ron Paul and others suggest Syrian
President Bashar Assad couldn’t have done it. Thus, some wonder if the
“Iraq has WMD” fiasco is being repeated.

Be that as it may, *we too have used chemical weapons, most recently in
Fallujah, Iraq, led by Gen. James Mattis* (now defense secretary, nicknamed
“Mad Dog” for his callous disregard of human life); *he also employed them
in Afghanista*n. Ironically, he recently reminded the world of the Geneva
Convention ban against chemical weapons. The horrific legacy of depleted
uranium continues in Iraq, with stillbirths and birth defects still
occurring in what Iraqi doctors call “genocide.”

Gen. Mattis didn’t earn the nickname “Mad Dog” because he was using
chemical weapons! Here’s a link to a *CNN* article that explains where that
nickname came from: *Mad Dog was a Nickname Given by the Press.*
<http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/12/politics/james-mattis-mad-dog-nickname/>

And *Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu displayed his usual hypocrisy*.
He “was shocked and outraged” to see “babies suffocating.” He forgets *his
own burning of Palestinian children in Gaza with phosphorus gas in 2014 and
in earlier Israeli invasions of Gaza and Lebanon, even Syria; and his
justice minister applauded the poisoning of “little snakes.”*

Doesn’t look like Ghazi has much love for the Israelis, either.

Even Saudis have employed chemical weapons in Yemen.

These events are documented in U.N. investigations and various human rights
reports.

Indeed, it is our short-sighted imperial privilege: for the same deeds,
condemning and punishing some, engaging ourselves; ignoring or condoning
others.
