Col Al-Dabbagh said cases containing weapons of mass destruction warheads were delivered to front-line units, including his own, in late 2002, the paper reported. He didn't know whether the warheads were chemical or biological but said they were designed to be launched by hand-held rocket-propelled grenades.

This really smells. A WMD "warhead" on an RPG??? What's the range on an RPG, 500 meters? Seems as useful as a nuclear hand grenade! Plus, Saddam would have given at least some of these weapons to the Fedayeen and they certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them.

I'm beginning to think that Saddam really didn't have WMDs. He definitely didn't have any complete weapons or they would have been used, either in the war or by the guerrillas. I also wonder about the claims that Saddam sent his WMDs to Syria. Why would he do that? So they wouldn't be found? So what, he knew we would take him out regardless. Now, after all this time, the only thing that makes sense to me is that Saddam did not have any usable WMDs.

Small deployable weapons are great. They disrupt an initial attack, and send the rest in panic to deploy countermeasures, even though they themselves arre not being attacked with WMD

And, according to this guys testimony, his troops had them with their personal vehicles, they would have deployed with their own vehicles, not in centralized trucks, and they would have withdrawn with separate vehicles, nnot centralized trucks.
