Nicole,

Thanks for the article, very interesting, but it supplies no proof to support your contention that the US supplied Iraq with chemical or biological weapons.

Troll pointed out the discovery of stores of CB suits and ampules of atropine. Your response in your post above:

"As for why would Saddam buy protective gear, it COULD be for the same reason the US buys protective gear for their soldiers. Just a thought."

For the last forty years US and NATO forces have always carried CB suits and atropine - even on exercise. The significant difference Nicole is that then, as now in Iraq, US/UK and Australian troops have those items issued to them and carry them at all times - The Iraqi army, Republican Guard, etc., do not. The explanation of this difference is that coalition forces have to ready to protect themselves from an attack that could come at any time - The Iraqi's don't, they can issue that kit to their troops immediately prior to them launching such an attack.

"Or because the US keeps making threats about how no weapon is off the table -- uh, WHO is threatening the use of WMD?"

US and UK forces have no chemical or biological munitions, they have no need for such weapons and have not had for over forty years.
