Since the first Gulf War produced these illnesses, but the Second - the invasion of Iraq - did not, what was different? During the First Saddam burned the oil fields throwing up huge clouds of raw petroleum products that covered a good portion of the war area, and second, Saddam may have used chemical weapons.
