Sarin leaks at Kentucky depot

I warned of a sarin leak months ago when mustard gas kept leaking at the Blue Grass Army Depot near Lexington, Kentucky. And now it's happened.

In addition to mustard gas, the depot also has sarin - a far, far deadlier chemical weapon. The nerve agent is considered a weapon of mass destruction under UN guidelines, and it's illegal for any country to make or stockpile it. It's much more poisonous than even cyanide.

But the U.S. government seems to stockpile it anyway - and they do it in Kentucky.

Didn't the government promise to clean up the sarin at the Kentucky depot? They promised it years ago, and then this past summer they pledged to get right to it. But the deadly sarin remains.

They never fucking listen, do they?
