    It looks like the (news about the) Weapons of Mass Destruction cannot be found.

    The Administration locked down the reports almost immediately because it was NOT widely known that these munitions were from THE US for the purpose of use against Iran.

    It's not widely-known in the USA that the US sold arms to Iraq?! :O

    This US citizen knew it. Obviously others (Gregor) didn't.

    Robyn...From what I recall (and I may be wrong), those weapons have a shelf life and pre-1991 nerve and sarin shells no longer pose any significant threat....sarin gas in particular has a shelf life of only several weeks to several months. It is mustard gas degrades rather slowly, and would still be 95-97% effective.

    Thanks for that info, Leolaia. I'm about to do an engine search to find out more.

    I clicked:

    If the Security Council has enabled it, The United States of America can examine your country and automatically discover Weapons of Mass Destruction.
    If you would like to use the CIA to try and discover them,
    click Detect Settings Detect weapons

    and look what I found:

    The table of contents kicks ass:
