NO! Chemical weapons in Iraq???

[scaeagles]

An unnamed defense department official doesn't mean much to me. Unnamed sources never do, particularly in matters of politics.

If you had heard his before, then it is certainly old news. I had not heard this before even though I try to remain somewhat informed.

Again, the first comment I made in the OP was to acknowledge that hese were degraded. The extent to which is varied.

My point is not that these were the end all of the WMD programs we expected to find. My point is that Saddam had claimed he had destroyed all his chemical weapons. He had not. You don't misplace (at least) 500 chemical weapons.
