That's why I posted the screen shot. The link is the CIA website www.cia.gov - there is a link to the Comprehensive Report of the Special Advisor to the DCI on Iraq's WMD. Click on Volume 3 and go to page 30. The .pdf file is 65 megabytes so it takes forever to load it. The smoking gun is buried well but it is there.

25 June 2004: 17 Additional 122mm SAKR-18 Artillery Rockets. July 2004: 22 Additional 122mm SAKR-18 Artillery Rockets An additional 17 rockets from the same cache described above (d) were identifi ed at the Khamisiyah Depot by the same source. (See fi gure 8). Sixteen were returned to ISG for analysis and one was exploded onsite because it retained an intact rocket motor that posed safety concerns. Most of the rounds had been severed, exposed to heat, or were partially destroyed. Four intact rounds were separated for testing and returned a preliminary positive result for G-series nerve agent. None of these rounds retained a liquid fi ll line, suggesting the agent had degraded over time. 22 more rockets were discovered at Khamisiyah. 21 were in deteriorated condition with only one intact rocket with residual riot control agent present.
