The Times article says these were very old rusted and decaying nerve gas shells from the Iranian war and were barried and inert. They were known by the inspectors in 2003. There were no WMD after 1991 that were usable. I guess the pentagon had troops digging them up and some got sick. This would be very bad “pr” for the Pentagon that these old decayed shells would be mishandled and heads would roll. The assertion by the Bush administration that Iraq had WMD manufacturing in 2003 was patently false. Collin Powell showed “Mobile Labs “ that were actually weather balloon trucks. At the end of the article they conclude that anyone that tries to fill in the blank on WMD from these old rusted shell casings gets 4 pinocchios.
