Islamic State militants may have fired a chemical rocket at American troops based in Iraq, the US military says.
A rocket that landed within several hundred yards of US troops at Qayara air base near Mosul may have contained mustard agent, it said.
No one was hurt in the attack on the base, which is home to several hundred US soldiers.
If confirmed, it would be the first chemical weapons attack on coalition forces in Iraq.

How did those WMDs get shipped into Iraq?
Won't happen with one of their own occupying the White House. I wish Putin would go after them with full force. None of this targeted $hit. Yes, I completely understand the ramifications of such an attack.
sorry, troops, muslim in the WH
You helped create these monsters Obama and Hellery. Own them you two crackpots.

Well, this would mean war if we didn’t have a neutered little shemale in the oval office.
Exactly. And this is why testing will confirm nothing happened. Wouldn’t want to put any pressure on Obozo to actually allow our men to fight.
NO WEAPONS OF
MASS DESTRUCTION
in Iraq!!
But military expert for CNN Barbara Starr says it was a “shell”, or a “rocket” or a “rocket shell”.
As I mentioned elsewhere, my son, fighting in Iraq in 2003 got rocketed.
There is a difference between a rocket and a shell, but don’t tell it to CNN’s experts. They might consider this a microaggression against their stupidity.
give them 48 hrs....start bombing after 24. Never give a warning. Play dirty.
