Medical Mysteries of the Persian Gulf

It is good to see that the government is finally admitting what people have been saying for years. However, I am worried about the truth in this! I thought Iraq did NOT have any Weapons of Mass Destruction? Using that logic, maybe this is just a bunch of Bush Lies to covre up his murder of American GIs in the Gulf War I. Maybe.

NBC Weapons: Medical Mysteries of the Persian Gulf: "June 4, 2007: A new study on American troops suffering from, what has come to be known as 'Gulf War Syndrome,' indicates that the common link among all the ill troops may be low level exposure to Iraqi Sarin nerve gas in 1991. The Boston University School of Medicine study asserts that as many as 100,000 U.S. troops may have been close enough to the destroyed Sarin warheads, to have ingested tiny amounts of the nerve agent.



Not a lot is known about the long term effects of low dosages of nerve gas. There are thousands of Iranian soldiers, who were exposed to non-lethal doses of sarin, and other types of nerve gas, during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. Few of those Iranian victims have been examined as closely as most U.S. veterans. Because of Irans diplomatic isolation over the last three decades, it's been impossible to get any cooperation with them on this issue. Iran did allow some of their chemical weapons casualties to be treated in European hospitals, but this yielded little data on low level nerve gas exposure."
