    Let’s remember a great lady, First Lady Barbara Bush.

    My Mom made a similar decision at nearly the same age, and I know how the family might be feeling and went through.

    “SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) – The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) has pledged to set up a “significant” pool of investors for the potential $100 billion initial public offering (IPO) by Saudi Arabian state oil major Aramco, it said on Thursday. ”

    Amazing what some people think and say.

    Thinking ilsm failed that course, if he actually took it.

    “Decontamination procedures must be followed prior to handling or providing first aid to someone suspected of agent exposure. A solution of common household bleach and water, followed by a water rinse, can be used to decontaminate the skin where contact was made with GB. Only clean water (no bleach or other chemicals) should be used to remove agent from the eyes.”

    Emike,

    Yeah Assad is a beast and if the facts were known he has a lot of stiff competition from the supposed first world. Not the beast in Revelations that one will rise in Jerusalem.

    You are wrong on so many levels.

    You missed the lead in of the FM. The best decon is to let the stuff “age”, the half life is measured in days lessened with humidity and heat. Cannot do that on humans or guns you need to shoot.

    While today the propagandists showed a picture of a jihadi in a gas mask and no other MOPP next to a purported rocket body in good shape set up on a bed! If sarin there and no MOPP gear [I guess it was aged from Apr 17 or] the jihad would be dead!

    But do take a few lines out of context. Some of the FM talks about decontaminating MOPP gear before the exposed marine removes it.

    The lead in said decontaminate with “super tropical bleach (STB)”.

    A tiny fraction of a ml/cc of sarin is fatal, it is oily and not subject to H2O.

    Why would you not put a STB solution in a victim’s eyes? Think! Maybe the decon covers chlorine and mustard!

    While al Jazeera is a propaganda organ of numerous Salafi terror groups sanctioned by ARAMCO owners including the Army of Islam which 13000 terrorists and family were just bused out of Douma.

    The reason the Russians vetoed the renewal of the UN-OPCW joint mission is the US and UK representatives are press hounding propagandists and made statements with no evidence and less logic which only play to war lovers.

    What is that commandment about bearing false witness it supports Clifford’s principle, not you.

    How much of your MBS’ are in the vault at the Fed?

    So exactly how much does RT pay you?

    Do you even realize how your cherry picking about decontamination is so obviously flawed?

    When you cannot defend your lying propagandists you go to the Russian troll meme.

    Cherry picking you are on the high point of the mound of ignorance on CBRN issues.

    Yeah, who but a russian troll would go on and on about how water being used to treat chemical warfare victims shows there was no chemical attack?

    INDIVIDUAL DECONTAMINATION: The following methods can be used to decontaminate an individual:

    Decontamination of First Responder:
    Begin washing PPE of the first responder using soap and water solution and a soft brush. Always move in a downward motion (from head to toe). Make sure to get into all areas, especially folds in the clothing. Wash and rinse (using cold or warm water) until the contaminant is thoroughly removed.

    Remove PPE by rolling downward (from head to toe) and avoid pulling PPE off over the head. Remove the SCBA after other PPE has been removed.

    Place all PPE in labeled durable 6-mil polyethylene bags.

    Decontamination of Patient/Victim:
    Remove the patient/victim from the contaminated area and into the decontamination corridor.
    Remove all clothing (at least down to their undergarments) and place the clothing in a labeled durable 6-mil polyethylene bag.
    Thoroughly wash and rinse (using cold or warm water) the contaminated skin of the patient/victim using a soap and water solution. Be careful not to break the patient/victim’s skin during the decontamination process, and cover all open wounds.
    Cover the patient/victim to prevent shock and loss of body heat.
    Move the patient/victim to an area where emergency medical treatment can be provided.
