Pentagon: Carlyle Group Shipped Nerve Gas to Iraq
The U.S. shipped chemical and biological Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) to Saddam Hussein in 1988-89, then sent in clean-up teams to get rid of the evidence.

Carlyle Group, the notorious Bush Family controlled slush fund, which has been called one of the "world's largest equity funds," sent VX nerve gas shipments to Iraq in 1988-89, according to Washington, D.C. journalist Wayne Madsen.

"Former members of a military intelligence team deployed to Iraq at the outset of the Iraq invasion referred to their job as a 'janitorial operation for the first President Bush and Carlyle,' Madsen reports.

The Carlyle Group was founded by former Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci, who was Pentagon chief when VX nerve gas and other Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), as well as conventional weapons were sent to Saddam Hussein by the Reagan administration in 1988. Iraq was involved in a war with Iran (the so-called "Meatgrinder War") and the United States was selling weapons to both sides, in an effort to weaken both Middle East nations.
"Carlyle was among the largest exporters of such weapons by the United States and that bills of lading and other documents presented to them at the Bilad weapons depot in Iraq point to pass through companies affiliated with Carlyle being involved in the shipments to Iraq," Madsen reported according to military intelligence sources.

"The VX weapons were found in retrofitted high explosive single stage, solid welding aerial bombs that had been cut in half by Iraqi engineers and had installed as a second stage a compartment from which parachute-borne VX weapons would be dropped and explode at a pre-set height," Madsen continues. "The weapons were to be used against Iranian troops."

"The confirmation of the source of the munitions came from the head of munitions for the Iraqi Air Force. The Iraqi source said the bombs had been kept purposely hidden from the UN weapons inspectors and the retrofitting process was carefully guarded by the Mukhabarat."

"U.S. military intelligence teams found 29 such bombs at Bilad. The bills of lading provided by the Iraqis showed that the materials were shipped from the United States through trading companies in France and Spain," Madsen writes. "The word 'Carlyle' was recalled from some of the documents, according to a U.S. military intelligence source. The FBI is aware of the evidence of U.S. chemical-biological weapons sales to Iraq but has not taken any action against those involved."

According to Madsen, the George Bush Jr. Regime's "main priority at Bilad was to have the incriminating evidence of binary VX nerve gas from the United States removed. A British special operations hazardous material team removed the canisters with U.S. serial numbers."

And thus evidence of the perfidy of George Bush Sr. and George Bush Jr. effectively "vanished."
