The United States government cannot ask other nations to hand over chemical weapons stockpiles when the U.S. itself possesses these weapons and has used them on many different occasions. During WWII the U.S. developed 3,000 tons of mustard gas and used it against Germany. In the 1960's the U.S. government released a staggering 20 million gallons of Agent Orange over Vietnam. Recently declassified CIA documents revealed Donald Rumsfeld helped Saddam Hussein acquire mustard and nerve gas and anthrax to use against Iran. In the Gulf War the US used 2,000 tons of depleted uranium against Iraq. The US is also alleged to have use white phosphorus in 2005 in Fallujah. The U.S. conducted top-secret experiments on the citizens of St. Louis for years, exposing them to radioactive compounds as well.
