16.52 The remaining chemical weapons from Saddam Hussein's regime are stored in two sealed bunkers, both located at the Al Muthanna Chemicals Weapons Complex, a large site in the western desert some 80km north west of Baghdad.
This was the principal manufacturing plant for both chemical agents and munitions during Saddam Hussein’s rule.
Thousands of tonnes of chemical weapons were produced, stored and deployed by the Saddam Hussein regime. Iraq used these weapons during the Iran - Iraq War (1980 to 1988) and against the Kurds in Halabja in 1988.

President Obama currently meeting with his national security team, will make statement on #Iraq in 30 minutes.
Something obviously spooked his butt enough to drag him away from the gamestation and into the situation room......
Well of course WMDs never existed in Iraq according to all O-bots,,and the WH is already pretending that there is nothing in this stockpile to be worried about,,but it’s concerning them. So ....why are they concerned if there’s nothing there that could be used to harm?
ah yes, the Obama WH, brazenly stupid and proud of it.
Baby milk powder and gas.

This would actually be hilarious if it weren’t so deadly serious.
If true the Democrat party has a bunch of explaining to do.
Or not........
I still have not forgot the chemical attack in Syria last year and i bet it was Isis that did it and not Assad........it had every smell of ISIS behind that.
They contain ol’ Kristy’s childhood undies and Obama’s best hope,, both toxic to western civilization.
No wonder they left them sealed.
Something has definitely spooked the administration, they suddenly seem a bit edgy and a bit in panic mode.
Pingaling, you disgusting regime shill
Uhhh. Krusty’s
Dam spillchikker
Sadly, I would like nothing better than this story to be true......and shove them down Obama and his liar’s throats.
Exactly. I just heard on NBC news Brian Williams last night, that the whole Iraq war was based on George Bush’s lies about WMD.
But, but there were not supposed to be any weapons of Mass Destruction.........in ...Iraq ( according to Dems).
clearly rhetorical question
No, Sadam didn't have chemical weapons. He just had a large chemical weapons complex. But there was nothing going on there. Valerie Plame and Daily Kos said so.
Pingalking, you disgusting Obama regime shill.
I remember being The Queens birthday party (at what is now called STRATCOM) and hearing fairly high ranking military personal complain that President Bush was giving Saddam time to hide or get rid of WMD. They talked about convoys of trucks leaving Iraq and going into Syria. They knew what was in those trucks, but because of time Bush gave Hussain to give himself up, wouldn't do anything about it. If you think about it, of course Saddam saved some WMDs to use later. How do you find WMDs in the size of that country, if you know they took precautions to protect them from being found? I'm sure some of the republican guards knew where they were hidden and gave them up to get on the right side of Isis.
Until Fox News reports this, I will take it with a grain of salt.
Yup.
He’s late again....now saying 1.15....45 mins late, must be watching nickleodeon again....
