President George W. Bush claimed in a speech that Saddam Hussein could attack America "on any given day"; he accused Hussein of harboring terrorists, stockpiling weapons of mass destruction, and using such weapons on his own people. "Neither the United States of America nor the world community of nations can tolerate deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any nation, large or small," the President said. New documents were declassified concerning tests of biological and chemical warfare agents that were conducted by the United States government on its own soldiers in Alaska, Maryland, Hawaii, Canada, and Britain during the Cold War.
Among the substances used on American soldiers were sarin and VX; the tests were given code names such as Green Mist, Red Cloud, Devil Hole, Rapid Tan, and Night Train.
