So the sarin ied, a binary mix in flight shell that Iraq was not known to possess prior to 1995, was nonexistent?
See post 5.
Try to keep in mind the fact that “WMD” does not rely on age or quantity.

Yeah, real harmless those old phosgene and mustard rounds from WWI.
Again you are trying to take miniscule amounts of whatever and project it out to be massive stockpiles.
What could have been done with a air strikes and Special Forces, did not require shipping a huge army across the ocean to get mired in a war that we are technically STILL fighting and blowing money on.
“Try to keep in mind the fact that “WMD†does not rely on age or quantity.”
Except in this case, it most certainly does.
Again, from your own links:
“Testing done by the Iraqi Survey Group (search) — a U.S.-organized group of weapons inspectors who have been searching for weapons of mass destruction (search) since the ouster of Saddam Hussein — concluded that the mustard gas was “stored improperly” and was thus “ineffective.””
Clinging to the discovery of decade-old munitions that pre-dated Desert Storm are hardly proof of an ACTIVE Chem & Nuke program, which is what we were told by the Admin.
