Homosexuality, Pests and Bad Breath

Washington, Jan 14 (Prensa Latina) The Pentagon has considered building up chemical weapons that would disrupt discipline and morale among enemy troops, and even cause homosexual behaviour among soldiers, NewScientist.com revealed Friday.

The article, based on declassified documents, refers to an "aphrodisiac" chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other, as some of the new "non-lethal" weapons. This would result in widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing a "distasteful, non-lethal" blow to morale.

Another such bizarre plan included chemical weapons that attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats to troop positions, making them uninhabitable. The idea of making a chemical that caused "severe and lasting halitosis", making it easy to identify guerrillas trying to blend in with civilians, was also considered.

These proposals, made at the US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, in 1994, coincide with the current warmongering policy of the Bush administration, thus violating international conventions banning the production of chemical weapons.

The US, a signer of these conventions, justified the invasion of Iraq with the pretext that Baghdad was developing prohibited arms, which were never found.
