A Chemical Weapons watchdog amended statements on Friday that its leader had given to The New York Times, in which he estimated that 50 to 100 grams of liquid nerve agent had been used in the March 4 attack on the former Russian spy Sergei V. Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury, England.

TSgt Joe C. More than Twice the Original Estimate. This was not a "Research" Sample. This was a Weapon, This was an Attack.

We need to pass a DU resolution stating the US Generals responsible must be tried for this war crime
During the first Gulf War invasion of Iraq in Aug. 1990 thru fall of 1991 the US contaminated Iraq with 350 ton of solid U-238 called depleted uranium (DU). But there was nothing depleted about this stuff. It did not have the high enough concentration of enriched U-235 in order to run a nuclear reactor or to make A-bombs. Mixed in with the U-238 were other radioactive hot particles like plutonium, U-235, etc.
This is a must watch video and the every US General who authorized the use of DU is guilty of a war crime. The only reason to use DU is against the most advance Russian tanks and then the US has a duty to clean up the mess. U-238 is denser than steel (harder) so it purpose was to punch a hole thru Russian tanks and/or explode.
I have been protesting about this subject since 1991. I had one of my friends, (also a subordinate) die of cancer after serving in the second Iraq War.
Recall the Gulf War Syndrome? This Gulf war had a total of 760 causalities, 294 dead and 463 injured and ill in this war. 159,238 and over 8,000 dead. Over 250,000 people who served in the Gulf war got sick. Over 700, 000 metric tons of DU stored.

DU is being added concrete in infrastructure and making construction workers. So don’t sit next to the new construction as it may radioactive. For more see his May 2017 u-tube.

The Soviet Union announced that Iraq would be willing to negotiate an end to the crisis if it were assured that it could keep the Ar-Rumaylah oil fields in Kuwait and two offshore islands. McNamara favored sanctions against Hussein, as did retired Admiral Crowe. The conservative arms advisor to former President Reagan, Paul Nitze, also preferred sanctions, saying that he thought that we could outlast Hussein.
On November 2, 1990, the Security Council authorized "all necessary means," including military force, against Iraq if it did not withdraw from Kuwait by 15 January 1991. It was the first such resolution since UN sponsorship of the Korean War in 1950.
Hussein announced on December 6, 1990 that he was releasing all foreign hostages – including Americans. Democrats plunged into acrimonious opposition to Bush's policy regarding Iraq. On 12 January 1991, the US Congress authorized Bush's offensive against Iraq. The vote in the Senate was 52-47. The House of Representatives voted 250-183. Not an overwhelming majority for turning Iraq into a toxic wasteland. The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Javier Perez de Cuellar, was moving to and from Baghdad and other capitals, hoping that pressure would force Hussein to back down. Gorbachev tried to broker a peaceful settlement. Then Pope Jean Paul weighed in. On 16 January, one day after the deadline for Hussein had passed, the Holy Father telephoned Bush and asked that Bush postpone his offensive. GHW Bush refused.
In mid-February, Saddam Hussein was expecting the Allied offensive to begin soon, and he announced that he was ready to withdraw from Kuwait if Israel returned the territories it had been occupying since the 1960s. Gorbachev attempted a peace proposal to end the war before the Allies launched their assault. Iraq was in agreement with the proposal, which was for an unconditional Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait; the Soviet Union committed to maintaining Iraq's state structure and borders; the end of all sanctions against Iraq; and no punitive actions against Saddam Hussein.
Bush's Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney, had a problem with Schwarzkopf's continuing requests for delays.
