Lindane and Gulf war one.

[Rono]

Yesterday on the News.

There was a item about the soldiers from Gulf was one that became sick. A lot of people thought that i had something to do with nervegas or biological weapons ( maybe in some cases it was ) but then they say the Lindane was used for de-louse prisenors of war. My alarmbells where ringing because at my time at the agriculture highschool Lindane was under suspicion for the danger of cancer. ( 1988 )

Lindane is a pesticide that is related to D.D.T. and acommulate in fat of animals. My guess is the a lot of soldiers got ill from this.For more info about Lindane risk,...

Maybe all big shot generals should go to a agriculture school.

Probebly the use of chemicals on own troops and prisenors of war is not so bad .

eww lindane...just the mention of that word...YUK. I got zapped by it once...ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, awful memory.

I watched a doco once about the Gulf War, about the role of the U2 planes. They were quoting a "U2 expert" Chris Pocock. He said with their wet cell capacity their role was to "make sure we were all singing from the same sheet of music"
I so wish he WAS talking about music and an irish band and not about bombing.

Lindane...ewwwwwwwwwwww, sick, sick, sick ewwwwwwww.
