They supposedly only did "research" on binary sarin rounds, and that
*after* 1991.


Well, Mr. Adam says they had a "fair amount pre-1991 and had since
destroyed almost all of it". At least one of you is wrong.

The "wrong" person is the one who doesn't know there are different kinds
of "binary" rounds (i.e., you).

They had "binary sarin," which was pre-mixed and poured into the shell
immediately before firing, and which led to a high number of accidental
exposures by gun crews. They did *not* have a binary shell that mixed
in flight, like the one found recently (according to the reports they
made to the UN).

Hmmm..., how can I be wrong about something I did not comment on?

Actually, that's a quote of Mr. Adams' comment.

....and since you quoted it, you commented on it.

That's two low-quality lies in a row.

Not precisely. They had the field-mixed binary operational. Item 36 of
the UNSCOM report identifies an R&D program on true in-flight mixing
binary. Presumably, some actual shells were made as part of the R&D.
