"In 1984, Donald Rumsfeld was in a position to draw the world's attention to Saddam's chemical threat. He was in Baghdad as the UN concluded that chemical weapons had been used against Iran. He was armed with a fresh communication from the State Department that it had "available evidence" Iraq was using chemical weapons. But Rumsfeld said nothing."
This is utterly bogus. Why assume that Rumsfeld should have said anything at all in his position at that time? The "US" denounced the use of chemical weapons and stopped selling to Iraq chemicals that concevably be used so in March 1984.
This is a desperate attempt at a smear job on the "Chemical" issue, full of red herrings and strawman arguments. BTW, Iran was calling for our destruction.
Webb was the only one with honor from that era.
