You have answered your own question. Saddam did have thousands of biochem suits. They were in storage and had been in storage for over eight years. They were not deployed with his troops. If you had WMD and intended to use them then you would deploy the biochem suits wouldn't you?

If you intend to use them in the immediate future, then yes you would hand out the suits. Otherwise, finding the suits in storage could mean that the weapons themselves are still in storage and their deployment was not imminent.

It would help keep you from making foolish statements, if you would READ the article, for which people provide you with link.

You are making assertions unsupported by facts.

I think you are hopeless, but maybe people who are actually taking your factually incorrect assertions seriously will learn something.

From the article I quoted in my post 56:

UK: Chemical suits found in Iraq

"There were numerous chemical weapons, protection suits and respirators left behind and this kit was effective, well-cared for and in good working order," Boyce said.

Boyce said that coalition forces would "have to ask themselves why Iraqi commanders felt that infantry in this part of Iraq should be issued with weapons of mass destruction equipment and protection."

Uhhhhh, yea.

    On Monday, Marines near the Iraqi navy port of Az Zubayar reported finding abandoned Iraqi military gear, including chemical suits.

    British military officials said Thursday they found chemical weapons protection suits when Iraqi infantry abandoned a headquarters facility in the oil fields of southern Iraq.

    In addition to the chemical suits, the Central Command reported earlier that Marines found and confiscated gas masks and nerve gas antidote injectors in the hospital near An Nasiriyah.

    Thousands of chemical suits found at Iraqi positions, gas masks abandoned in trenches.

Not deployed?

Well, don't you think that's quite a stretch to KNOW Iraq has no WMD's because you didn't see some guys wearing suits in one location at one time? Ha, ha, and you accuse these other guys of jumping to conclusions! You'd make a good defense attorney some day.
