"The means of delivery for those weapons were, however, extremely primitive: they could only be used on the battlefield, where range was very restricted and their accuracy minimal. That seems to have been one reason why they were not used during the war. The "

In all fairness, if this is all the US can come up with, it isn't nearly enough to support the NBC weapon claims. Where are the weapons? You cannot just make all these ready-to-go munitions disappear nationwide. You cannot have something like 50% of the chain of command in custody alive, and not know where they are from normal interrogation methods.

At the risk of being cynical, this iraqi may have just been saying what they wanted him to say, if he said it at all.

"The American advance was so rapid that the Iraqis could only deploy chemical weapons around Baghdad: "

I have yet to see anything about these weapons around Baghdad being found. If they were deployed after the invasion started, it is amazing that they have all vanished. If the US had found them, you can bet your bottom dollar we would be getting it in 2-minute doses the entire week they were found.

Remember the river water? Remember that less than 10% of the ammunition supply sites have been checked so far?

Why is it so difficult for you to believe that these weapons existed? After all, the Iraqis used them quite often in the past.

Or are you the longest sleeper troll here?

They haven't vanished. Israel has said from the beginning that the weapons were trucked into Syria before, during and after the war started.
