Subject: Why Gulf War Syndrome has same symptoms of Exxon Valdez Oil Spill cleanup

 
When the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup was going on, EPA made a big mistake to let Exxon experiment with chemicals.
One experimental chemical was Corexit.  It had no MSDS.  It was like keroscene with 38% poison (2-butoxyethanol) but all the first info said was that it had trace ethylene oxide. This is a known de-minimus carcenogen.  Any contact is cancer causing.  So, why did the military start to use it?  Could this product be the source of Gulf War Syndrome?  If many people have acquired hemolytic anemia from those days of exposure, both in the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup and the Gulf War Syndrome military men, too, why can't the doctors find it?  It doesn't go away. It has to still be there.  They didn't drink the stuff - the basis of false conclusions of our rat experiments.  They got the vapors in their eyes, on their skin; they breathed the fumes. 
 
It amazes me that our country is so focused on the ENRON and WORLD dot COM issues which only took peoples money, and you don't seem to care at all that you are 'slaughtering' the youth and hard working people of our nation.  Even polluting the environment with chemicals of all kinds.  Did you know that the Washington Post refused my 3 line classified ad:  Exxon Oil spill workers, www.valdezlink.com/home.htm 1-888-853-5333 valdez@alaska.com   How else will we know what this chemical does to people & stop harming our future generations?
