What happens to weapons of bioterror that are captured or never used?

The are left unsecured in Iraq for the insurgents to pick and use against us... \n\nIt's a brilliant strategy to keep America "occupied" in Iraq while the rest of the world is busy building nuclear weapons... Plus, they get the benefit of draining the U.S. treasury because of Iraq and oil!!!

Honestly, I believe the weapons of md they are planning on making will be terminated.  I serious believe so...

The bio-bomb is made of a plastic alloy and employs the radioactive energy source Solinium II, which kills only living tissue and leaves the landscape and buildings unchanged. Used mostly in collaboration with the fairy time-stop, the bomb, nicknamed a blue rinse, can be calibrated to an exact radius; that is to say that it can explode and blue rinse an exact area.

Cockroaches.  They can withstand nuclear radiation.

It is  a catch 22 situation. If you don't sell arms to others, where does your arms industry go? And if you do, there is a real danger of them ending up being used against you. For example, Pakistan has provided nuclear techonology to North Korea. Now, that it is available, it can easily fall in the hands of terrorists who can use it to make dirty bombs that will make 9/11 look like a school picnic.

i worked for a doctor that had medical supplies that expired in the early 80's in his office that he would not let me throw away. (this was in 2001). he would also take the use latex gloves out of the biohazard bag, and put them back in the box to be reused. there are alot of other things, but i could be here all night. needless to say, i only worked there about 2 months, until i could find a new job.

First of all - it won't fit in our weapons. \n\nNext is the fact that their ammunition does not meet our safety standards.\n\nNor does their ammunition meet our reliability standards.\n\nAnd we do not know if that ammunition has been properly maintained or stored.

WMDs haven't been. The useless remains of WMDs have been found. What has been found amounts to nothing more than toxic waste which is easily found in Iraq; and in the United States for that matter.

For the simple reason that there weren't any WMD there.\n\nNow how can you be sure:\n\n1. If they had any they would've been used when US was attacking Iraq.\n2. If they were not used for fear of retaliation, then they should've been found by now.\n\nThe probability of all the WMDs being scuttled for fear of UN inspectors finding them out is very real.

The guy saying that Sarin cannot degrade is incorrect.  You're entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts, gentlemen.\n\n"According to a U.N. report last year, Iraq claimed that there was "no industrial-scale production" of the agent. During the early 1990s after the Persian Gulf War, Iraq emptied many of its sarin shells under U.N. supervision. The sarin agent has a limited shelf life unless stored under carefully controlled conditions, Buchanan said."\n\nhttp://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2004-05-17-sarin_x.htm\n\n\n"Sarin has a relatively short shelf life, and will degrade after a period of several weeks to several months. The shelf life may be greatly shortened by impurities in precursor materials. According to the CIA [1], in 1989 the Iraqis destroyed 40 or more tons of sarin that had decomposed, and that some Iraqi sarin had a shelf life of only a few weeks owing mostly to impure precursors."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarin\nhttp://www.fas.org/irp/gulf/cia/960715/72569.htm\n\n\nSarin is a deadly weapon, but not after it has decayed for 20 years.  The sarin in these shells has long since lost its properties and was more or less worthless.  It is no more dangerous than toxic waste in the degraded form, hardly a 'weapon of mass destruction'.  \n\nThe assertions made by many before the war were that Iraq had thousands of tons of Bio-chemical weapons and was actively producing them.  The keyword: active.  These shells are all from before the FIRST gulf war which was in 1991.  This means they were likely from the Iraq-Iran war in the 1980s and were not symblomatic of any modern Iraqi WMD effort.  Iraq did NOT have stockpiles of WMD, they had depleted sarin shells they probably forgot they buried in some part of their desert hellhole.  Depleted sarin is not a weapon, let alone a WMD.  500 shells are not stockpiles, especially if they contain unweaponized material.\n\nThe bottom line is that Bush and crew overstated their hand by an extreme margin.

They go into your trash folder.  If you didn't empty it they might be in there.

The first documented use of biological weaponry was back in the Dark Ages. Marauding armies flung plague corpses over the walls of fortresses to spread the disease throughout the population. After they were weakened with disease, the army would come in an take over.\n\nBut if you wanna go Biblical, I think the Ten Plagues of Egypt were some serious acts of biological warfare, even if it was God who was doing the smiting.

I would like to see all of those hideous things dismantled throughout the entire planet.  They have no military use whatsoever!  They're only good for murdering an entire city!

They'll be confiscated by US Customs.We purchased a set in Iraq from a local market and prior to coming home, Our friendly MPS (Military Police) searched our bags and took them.Go to Cuba via Canada or Jamaica and Fed-EX YOUR BELOVED Havanas TO YOUR HOMe ddress or PO BOX (The latter preferable).

If you have it expunged, then all records are erased. There is no more record on you that can be retrieved by any one.

This last guy just typed out a lot of bullshit. I am pissed at myself for even reading all of that crap. And espike is wrong about the no-first use. The US not only maintains that it may use it first but it also maintains that it may use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state.\n\n1. The United States is one of the five "nuclear weapons states" permitted to maintain a nuclear arsenal under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, of which it was an original signatory on July 1, 1968 (ratified March 5, 1970). Although the The 5 NWS parties have made undertakings not to use their nuclear weapons against a non-NWS party, the United States, for instance, has indicated that it may use nuclear weapons in response to a non-conventional attack by "rogue states". \n\n\n2. The U.S. cancelled its offensive biological weapons program by executive order in November 1969 and February 1970 and ordered the destruction of all offensive biological weapons by February 1973. The U.S. ratified the Geneva Protocol on January 22, 1975. In March 1975, the U.S. ratified the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). \n\n\n3. In May 1991 President George H.W. Bush unilaterally committed the United States to destroying all chemical weapons and to renounce the right to chemical weapon retaliation. \nThe U.S. Congress has since passed legislation requiring the destruction of the entire stockpile by December 31, 2004. Official U.S. policy is to support the Chemical Weapons Convention as a means to achieve a global ban on this class of weapons and to halt their proliferation. \n\nOh and the arabs, they had palaces and cities and knew how to read, write, trade, build ships etc. while Europe and America were barbarians and were still living in caves. The arabs gave the west the modern number system and they also carried the concept of zero from India to the west. What Europe and America boasts of today started with what they got from the arabs. But with their religious fanaticism their progress stalled and they fell behind. America is powerful and advanced today but it too is witnessing a religious fundamentalist movement. And if it continues on this path then the only thing separating America from its dark days is time.\nCivilizations rise and fall.
