Sounds to me like the result of a sub-commander covering his a**.
"What are we supposed to do with these drums?"
"Get rid of them! Get rid of them! Screw this! Do you want to die for that crazy s**t Saddam?"

During the first hour of the Ollie North show, with Jed Babbin sitting in, Ollie and a military chem field guy satted that the concentrations were very low, but they were accurate detections. Dumping barrels into the river would give trace readings if not opened before dumping (on the outsides). The real poisoning will dribble out over time if those barrels are not removed. Think about where the Euphrates empties. Southern Iraq is not Ba'athist party holiday zone and the coast of Kuwait isn't a place Saddam would sun himself ... intentionally.
