"As we understand in this point in time Joseph, Saddam and his goons where up to their eye balls, perhaps eye lids in wmd programs just waiting to become fully active once things eased up."

I agree and if that was the plan, or part of the plan, they would want all necessary supplies handy, especially the ones that would be hard to get like the chemicals named above.

"...especially the ones that would be hard to get like the chemicals named above."
You most certainly are accurate in that statement. Surely during those weeks after the initial invasion was completed, when the Iraqi where roaming the cities etc., ripping the place to bits, Saddamist must have been hiding things in the frenzy as well. I predict with a high degree of confidence we yet shall find things stored in buried and capped areas in various parts of the country.
It does not take to many 55 gallon drums of the right pre-cursors to create for instance one hell of a lot of nerve gas. And each binary shell may only use a liter or so in each chamber.
I continue to bring up for the past two years, where some of our troops had found syringes, gas masks, and vials of atropine (antidote for nerve gas), laying on concrete bunker floors where artillery ordnance was stored.
They had the stuff and they planned on using it, but then in the last minute decided not to, so that GWB would not be vindicated early on.
