The Secret of the Chemical Weapons !!!

On OCT. 15, 2014, New York Times published an article on the opinion pages written by The Editorial Board “A Deadly Legacy in Iraq” in which they showing an investigation exposes shocking failings by the Pentagon that allowed highly dangerous chemical weapons to be left behind in Iraq. WAIT WHAT???

This investigation exposes shocking failings by the Pentagon, among them a callous disregard for the safety and care of American and Iraqi troops and a disturbing pattern of secrecy that can only erode public confidence in government. I definitely agree with them on that. The Iraq warhas cost us $1.7 trillion with an additional $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans. And total of 4,486 U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2012 for the reason of the chemical weapons and our pentagon allowed highly dangerous chemical weapons to be left behind!!

 Also the investigation show that our troops kept stumbling over these weapons, the discoveries were not shared publicly, and even in the military and Congress there were very few people who knew about them. Troops who came into contact with chemical weapons were told to keep the information secret. The result was to expose everyone else — soldiers and doctors — to further risk. Why they want to keep it secret.  And some troops did not receive proper medical care or official recognition of their injuries in the form of medals .that is unacceptable, and the Pentagon said that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel had not ordered a review of the health cases of individual soldiers detailed by The Times. So the questions where is President Obama's concern for these veterans health and welfare, and why has he not ordered Hagel to investigate and ensure proper medical care is provided?

 And our government task now to keep a close watch on the ISIS-held areas where chemical weapons were found and be prepared to take preventive action. American officials have downplayed the possibility that ISIS but could use any existing chemical stocks but two arms control experts, Joseph Cirincione and Paul Walker, suggest in an article for Defense One, a national security Internet site, that ISIS may have already used chemical weapons to kill three Kurds in Kobani, Syria. And the Pentagon apparently lost interest in the chemical weapons problem, left it to the Iraqis and the Iraqis have failed to do so.

Its Incomprehensible to me how's our government work if we go back three decades ago our government delivered to the Saddam regime the chemical weapons to support Iraq war with Iran, and we went to Iraq in 2003 to destroyed but we lift some for ISIS on a gold plate to kill more people definitely agree with NY Time that risk to civilians and the armies trying to fight a new enemy in Iraq with same chemical weapons. As US Citizen and veteran my right to know why our government didn't say anything about it ?
