(COMMENT)ForeverYoung436, et al,
First, let me say that we simply don't know the purpose of intent of the operation. BUT there may be any number of legitimate reasons in support of a military advantage. There is no reason to jump to some sinister conspiracy theory without the barest of facts.
Over a half century ago, when I was in my first combat tour, the US had a unique set of Operations called "Ranch Hand and Trail Dust" which ran for ≈ decade; ending in 1971. It was a combination of multiple herbicides and defoliants; 15-20 Million Gallons disbursed in. The GI's just called it "Agent Orange."
I wouldn't trust Al Jazeera as a credible news source.
In my limited experience, having first hand knowledge and exposure, you might consider the two scenarios that I was aware of:
One purpose was the Defoliation directed against foliage that might give cover and concealment to large numbers hostiles that might use it in an offensive scenarios. Key MSRs, base camps, and critical infrastructures where covered might conceal enemey approaches. (Defensive Mode)
A second purpose was to deny the enemy cover and concealment for there key command, control, communications and intelligence facilities. (Offensive Support Mode)
Most Respectfully,
RFirst, let me say that we simply don't know the purpose of intent of the operation.
Destroying sources of food is considered an act of genocide.
And have you proven that Israel has done this, or are you once again just taking the word of proven LIARS as the evidence
Have you proven they HAVEN'T done this?
Make a contribution to the thread of fuck off Phoney!
I made a contribution, I asked for a real link with real facts, this seems to be impossible to provide so you try and deflect away from the propaganda you posted.
In your absence you haven't learned anything have you!
Two links posted, from two different sources, referring to two different occurrences of crop spraying...
All we get from you is the same old expectation that we will just all listen to your BS without any supporting links...
Worthless Phoney, worthless![/QUOTE]
Both from the same source if you bother to look, the carrier is not the source by the way so look for the by-line
