Chemical ordnance found in Iraq but hid from the US Gvt

ehhhh.
They bring out some basic info, then twist it a little to give a false impression and make it out to be more than it is. Anyone that had a program has a legacy, the US, the UK, Germany and even Iraq. Crap remains, and eventually gets dug up. It does not make it a conspiracy or a big secret. Chemical Weapons in Iraq is like SF guys on the internet. Maybe 1:1000 was real. Not to say it didn't exist and people did not get hurt, but it is not what some have built it up to be. Every EOD guy I've talked to that was in theater saw a dozen (or more) Iraqi CW, but the same guys could not ID US CW. Put me down as dubious.
 
Dumb article ... but hey it's the NY Times. What do you expect? I've come to realize not everything posted by the media is true.
