[QUOTE][IMG]http://rt.com/files/news/20/b3/f0/00/panama-us-chemical-weapons-.si.jpg[/IMG] Panama and the United States are locked in a dispute over unexploded chemical weapons US soldiers left on an island of the Central American country over 60 years ago, now in the way of a major canal expansion project. Panamanian officials say they are growing more optimistic that its campaign to compel the US to retrieve its own weapons will be recognized by the Barack Obama administration despite disagreements in the past, McClatchy reported. The new expectations from Panama come as the US has pressured Syria to eradicate its chemical munitions in the wake of what the superpower alleges was a sarin attack carried out by the Assad regime on civilians near Damascus on Aug. 21. Yet the Obama administration itself is less clear on any agreement to clean up thousands of pounds of bombs on San Jose Island, 60 miles southeast from Panama City in the Pacific Ocean. The World War II ordnance was left on the island following a two-year term, from 1945 to 1947, when about 200 US soldiers used the then-deserted island to test chemical weapons that included phosgene, cyanogen chloride and mustard gas. Other reports maintain the soldiers also tested VX nerve gas and sarin, the lethal agent the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons found had been used in Syria on Aug. 21. A Panamanian survey in 2002 found at least eight unexploded 500- to 1000-pound bombs remain on the 17-square-mile island with an abundance of deer and wild pigs and surrounded by rugged shoreline.

Probably the worse time to ask for that sort of stuff, though they probably owe it to them.
Does that image look like a screen cap from the end of Goldeneye for anyone else?

[QUOTE=Zero Ziat;42475133]Probably the worse time to ask for that sort of stuff, though they probably owe it to them.[/QUOTE] best time actually, serves to point the hypocrisy. also isn't it rather dangerous to just leave 500-1000 chemical bombs lying around? couldn't someone steal a few? by someone i mean terrorists or even cartels, they're certainly fucked up enough to mess with it.
