       You are wondering why the Pentagon gagged anyone who found
       chemical weapons in Iraq?   Because the next question would be
       where Saddam got them. And the Pentagon doesn't want to answer
       that.
       We apparently denied medical care to our own soldiers exposed to
       chemical weapons in Iraq on the grounds of secrecy:

       Let me get this straight, GWB got the USA all fired up to go to
       war with Saddam Hussein over chemical weapons yet when they
       discovered he decided it would be better to branded the biggest
       liar in history (prior to ACA) than "acknowledge" that these
       chemical may have originated from the USA. GWB all I can say to
       that:

       Other things we have learned along the way, chemical weapons
       are so difficult that Saddam needed us provide to provide them
       to him yet they are simple enough to manufacture that neighbor
       Assad had no problem making his own.

       I think the only real surprise here is the idea that the NY
       Times broke this story giving possible credibility to the ideas
       that Saddam actually had WMD's.
       There is no disputing that he had the manufacturing capabilities
       nor any dispute that he could and would use them.
       No big surprise that our vets didn't get the care they needed.
       I guess that's why there isn't a lot of talk about it.  That and
       it would go against the talking points of the mainstream media

       It was a fact that Saddam used chemical weapons on the Kurds.
       How could anyone have ever said that Iraq didn't have WMD?

       Yes, that is basically exactly what happened.   The weapons
       found were all pre- 1991 and mostly of USA design.  Rather than
       explain how we armed our now-enemy with weapons we aren't
       supposed to even have.....we threw a whole lot of people,
       including servicemembers injured by those weapons- right under
       the bus.
