[QUOTE="Panin, post: 1428248, member: 52431"] First, I never claimed anything. The NYT article states that there was no evidence of an active weapons program, and there wasn't because it didn't exist. The weapons were not usable as intended. The shells could not be fired. If you read the NYT piece, they talked about finding some rigged to failed IED's. The shells were dangerous to handle, which is why our guys got injured, and they were not always identified as chemical. The article is quit good,m and deserves a rereads. wkmac, really? Why didn't they admit that the only weapons Iraq had were the ones we gave them under Reagan and GWB? From the article: [I]Participants in the chemical weapons discoveries said the United States suppressed knowledge of finds for multiple reasons, including that the government bristled at further acknowledgment it had been wrong. "They needed something to say that after Sept. 11 Saddam used chemical rounds," Mr. Lampier said. "And all of this was from the pre-1991 era."[/I] [/QUOTE]
