While I appreciate the significance of this document, I have some reservations about it since dozens of commonly used chemicals can be considered "precursors" to chemical weapons. One of the labs I worked in had cautions in place because phosgene was a by-product of our work.

No doubt, and I mentioned in my original post that these are “dual use” chemical that Saddam regime was allowed to import under strict regulations by the UN but to not manufacture locally. Anything in Saddam hands will be turn into a weapon, so I will say the probability of them using the precursors to make Chemical Weapons is much more than using it for industrial goals. As you may notice in my post 18, Saddam regime was also planning to manufacture prototypes of these precursors which they were absolutely prohibited to do according to the UN.
