I recall reported interviews of our soldiers inside Iraqi bunkers with all of the Iraqi chem suits and stuff. And reports of high-up Iraqi Generals out in the field that were so shocked when they were over-run, and wondering why the chemicals were never used.

1) All those reports were propaganda,
2) Saddam even had his own generals fooled into believing he had chemicals,
3) Saddam figured when it got to “go time” that it would be in his best interest to not use chemicals and live to fight another day.

I think it was #3.

Isn’t a commercial airliner with a full tank of gas a WMD?

I had Marine reservists tell me when they were over there, their trucks were used to transport 55 gallon drums marked as chemical agents, dug up from bunkers, more than 10 truck loads.
