WMD? BIO Weapons? Who is the threat?

Recommended Posts

The United States Army has developed and patented a new grenade that it says can be used to wage biowarfare. This is in violation of the Biological Weapons Convention, which explicitly prohibits development of bioweapons delivery devices.

US Patent #6,523,478, granted on February 25th 2003, covers a "rifle launched non lethal cargo dispenser" that is designed to deliver aerosols, including according to the patentâs claims - crowd control agents, biological agents, [and] chemical agents..

The development of biological weapons delivery devices is absolutely prohibited - in any circumstance- by Article I of the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, to which the US is a party. There is no exemption from this prohibition, neither for defensive purposes nor for so called non-lethal agents.

" Hans Blix might have an easier time finding illegal weapons if he were inspecting near Baltimore instead of Baghdad," says biologist Jan van Aken from the Sunshine Project Germany, referring to the fact that two of the inventors work at the Army's Edgewood Arsenal north of Baltimore, Maryland. Other inventors work at an engineering firm in Orlando, Florida, where the US Special Forces operate from MacDill Air Force Base.

It's not funny guys! :P

So tell your Royal Navy buddies to invade the US already. You're doing no good sitting there and complaining.

Depends on how much you're willing to give to the cause.
