The Pentagon says about 130,000 soldiers in the 1991 war were exposed to sarin nerve gas when U.S. troops destroyed an Iraqi weapons depot.

Is it just me, or does it seem really stupid to blow up chemical weapons and thereby release the chemicals into the air?

I wonder how many chemical warheads were buried (hidden and unmarked) in the thousands of munitions we have blown up this time around.
