The Secret U.S. Casualties of Iraq's Abandoned Chemical Weapons
U.S. troops found nearly 5,000 abandoned chemical weapons in Iraq from 2004 to 2011: report

Along with all the captured documents showing Saddam was planning to restart his chemical weapons program as soon as sanctions were lifted. What was left was enough to show he was trying to avoid complying with the ceasefire.

At the time, security of the operation when there was Iran backed Rebels and left over Baathists insurgents was more important than Bush showing he was right.

Freeper Jveritas covered this at the time.

Of course journos and far leftist bloggers will keep writing no WMD in Iraq.  I google'd "550 metric tons yellow cake 37 c-17 flights to diego garcia buld ship to canada" and ......

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-secretly-takes-yellowcake-from-iraq/

But George Soros' funded is not clear whether 550 metric tons of yellow cakes were hauled secretly by 37 USAF C-17 flights from Iraq to Diego Garcia and secretly shipped to Canada.

Ah, 550 metric tons yellow cakes are raw not weapon grade?  Oh yeah?  Per ton yellow cakes can be processed in to one megaton like Iran now doing?
