Iraq’s chemical arsenal was mainly destroyed in the Saddam era, although U.S. troops encountered some old Saddam-era chemical munitions during the 2003-2011 U.S. occupation.

Syria gave up its own chemical weapons, including stockpiles of sulfur mustard, under international supervision after hundreds of civilians were killed with sarin nerve gas in a Damascus suburb in 2013, an attack Western countries blame on President Bashar al-Assad’s government, which denies it.

Exclusive: Samples confirm Islamic State used mustard gas in Iraq - diplomat

A couple of weeks ago the mozlem animals stated that they were planning an attack that would dwarf 9-11 and my first thought was a large scale chemical attack on a major city.

In the past, the policy was that any chemical attack would be met with nukes, but of course that was before we had the p***y mozlem usurper.
