And the Paulestinians are still denying it, just like their buddies at Code Pink and Moveon.org.
Ok, so in your terms, would 1.5 ‘tons’ of mustard be large enough to be of concern?
He goes over everything in detail about unaccounted for WMDs and noncooperation from the Iraq government.

Towards the end, of course, he says that Iraq is ready to comply. But keep in mind that this was Saddam’s final warning and he has failed, as reported by Hans Blix.
Nerve gas would be a lot better. Mustard gas dates back to WW1. But it's been used in the last few decades. Saddam used it or was accused of using it
This gives you an idea of how and what poison gasses Saddam used on Iranians

1) Those reports came out same day as this article. Obviously, for at least a week prior to this article, the best known info. at the time was that it was phosgene. Therefore, the point that the MSN wasn’t reporting that, when everyone did believe it was the fact, still holds.
2) Notice that when the evidence was it was phosgene, MSN did NOT report it. They only started reporting on it, when it was discovered NOT to be phosgene. Then all of a sudden, the fact that it was not chemicals was big news. Interesting, huh? Chemicals... not news. No chemicals...big news.
3) And, there are still experts in the field who believe the WMD were shipped to Syria. Have we forgotten about that? Israeli intell, reports from Iraqi General Sada, and Deputy Undersecretary of Defense. Even CIA David Kay admits big trucks with program parts and not sure what else was shipped there.
