<p><i>Dale says this on his website (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://right-mind.us/">http://right-mind.us/</a>)</i><strong>:
"Update</strong>: Ghazi chose to respond to this post on
Moscow’s <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Vision2020</span>
<a
href="http://mailman.fsr.com/pipermail/vision2020/2017-April/104526.html">Venom2020
website</a>. I’m posting his comments here in full so you can
follow up on them for yourselves. Let me guarantee you, as a
military professional and retiree: the USA has not been using
chemical weapons. That’s a fantasy from the far left progressives.
See for yourselves the sources that he cites: all left-leaning
with an axe to grind. Even <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallujah,_The_Hidden_Massacre#Criticism">the
Wikipedia article he cites refutes the claim</a>."<br>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Obviously, Dale's "right-mind" is made up, despite concrete
evidence to the contrary; it is simply a matter of faith! "USA has
not been using chemical weapons"--not even napalm/agent orange in
Vietnam in the 1960s-70s; no "napalm girl" story!!<br>
On Israel's stockpile of WMDs and how it evolved, here is the full

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Interesting
observation: "Bless his heart. Moscow’s Emeritus Professor
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!"<br>
Here are some sources for Dale and others to
explore--right-mindedly, but more importantly, <u>open-mindedly</u>;
no "fake-news," "no alternative facts," but <u>absolutely
verifiable facts</u>. Given his meritorious career with
the U.S. Navy, however, one would have thought Dale would
be quite familiar with these facts.<br>

of chemical weapons: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Israel has been using chemical weapons in Gaza! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>He writes in the <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<blockquote
style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt">
<p>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>However, Nikki Haley, our UN ambassador, had
noted, “We don’t know yet the source of
yesterday’s attack.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Be that as it may, <strong><span
style="color:#FF2600">we too have used
chemical weapons, most recently in Fallujah,
Iraq, led by Gen. James Mattis</span></strong>
(now defense secretary, nicknamed “Mad Dog” for
his callous disregard of human life); <strong><span
style="color:#FF2600">he also employed them
in Afghanista</span></strong>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.”<o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Gen. Mattis didn’t earn the nickname “Mad Dog”
because he was using chemical weapons! Here’s a
link to a <em>CNN</em> article that explains
where that nickname came from: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"

<blockquote
style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt">
<p>And <strong><span style="color:#FF2600">Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu displayed
his usual hypocrisy</span></strong>. He “was
shocked and outraged” to see “babies
suffocating.” He forgets <strong><span
style="color:#FF2600">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.”</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Doesn’t look like Ghazi has much love for the
Israelis, either. <o:p></o:p></p>
