>GULF WAR SYNDROME - FACT SHEET
>by Dave Kuehne (dkuehne@erols.com)
>
>FACT:
>Before the Gulf War, Iraq had a highly developed chemical warfare
>program with numerous production facilities.
>
>FACT:
>Iraq also had an effective *BIOLOGICAL* weapons program with
>multiple research and production facilities, evidence of weaponization
>experimentation, and a history of reported use. Example: bacillus
>anthracis ( the causative agent of anthrax ) Iraq said it made about
>158 gallons of the anthrax bacteria in concentrated form, an amount
>U.N. officials say is enough to be packed inside 40 to 50 bombs that
>could each kill tens of thousands of people. The organism multiplies
>within the body after inhalation and kills within a day or so by halting
>breathing.
>
>FACT:
>We, the United States, provided the government of Iraq with "dual use"
>licensed materials to develop their chemical and biological programs.
>
>FACT:
>The United States did not have any biological agent detection capability
>whatsoever during the Gulf War.
>
>FACT:
>During the November 10, 1993 unclassified briefing for Members of the
>U.S. Senate, in response to direct questioning, then Undersecretary of
>Defense, and now Director of Central Intelligence, Dr. John M. Deutch
>said that the Department of Defense was withholding classified
>information on the exposure of U.S. forces to biological materials
>during the Gulf War.
>
>FACT:
>There are now over 50,000 veterans suffering from Gulf War Syndrome,
>including some 11,000 still on active duty. There are also over 3,500
>British veterans with the syndrome.
>
>FACT:
>Over 2,200 Gulf War veterans have died in V.A. hospitals. This does
>not include any who have died in civilian hospitals.
>
>FACT:
>In many cases, Gulf War Syndrome appears to be transmissible -
>unlike Agent Orange, which was not passed on to family members
>by the veteran. In addition to the 50,000 veterans who are sick, there
>are thousands of spouses, parents and children who are also suffering
>from the same debilitating illnesses - and in the case of a dispropor-
>tionate number of newborns, birth defects and physical abnormalities.
>
>BOTTOM LINE:
>The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is lying to our veterans and
>their families, to the U.S. Congress, and to the American people about
>the exposure of U.S. soldiers to chemical and biological agents during
>the Gulf War.
>
> "Our afflicted veterans are sick and suffering, and many have died.
> Others are now destitute, having spent tens of thousands of dollars,
> depleting their life savings, in an unsuccessful search for an
> explanation for their ailments. The veterans of the Gulf War have
> asked us for nothing more than the assistance they have earned.
> Our refusal to come to their immediate assistance can only lead
> others to question the integrity of the nation they serve."
