Thursday (today), it is being reported that some of Saddam's WMD stockpliles have been seized by ISIS . . . . an upsetting development for all the Bush haters of the world.

 The following Telegraph Report was  published today.  In the after notes,  you can read the definitive CIA report on WMD's,  dated,  2007.  Read to your heart's content.  I would love to take time to tell the Bush haters,  "I told you so,"  but I am laughing too hard to actually finish working on this article.  Bon appetitt.  

The Telegraph reported :

Chemical weapons produced at the Al Muthanna facility, which Isis today seized, are believed to have included mustard gas, Sarin, Tabun, and VX.

Here is the CIA’s file on the complex.

Quote Stockpiles of chemical munitions are still stored there. The most dangerous ones have been declared to the UN and are sealed in bunkers.

Although declared, the bunkers contents have yet (in 2007 ~blog editor)  to be confirmed.    These areas of the compound pose a hazard to civilians and potential blackmarketers.

Numerous bunkers, including eleven cruciform shaped bunkers were exploited. Some of the bunkers were empty. Some of the bunkers contained large quantities of unfilled chemical munitions, conventional munitions, one-ton shipping containers, old disabled production equipment (presumed disabled under UNSCOM supervision), and other hazardous industrial chemicals.

From the CIA report linked to,  above, and dated April of 2007:  

Prior to OIF  (OIF = Operation Iraqi Freedom) , Iraq removed buildings and their contents from the northern section of the Chemical Precursor storage area. The facilities at the southern section of the facility were removed by unknown entities between April and June of 2003. 

Between 2002 and OIF the Iraqis removed some of the facilities/warehouses (photo above). This activity was probably not WMD related. 

This facility was all about the production/maintenance/storage of lethal/weaponized product.  In the above,  “The facilities at the southern section of the facility were removed by unknown entities . . .” which means,  the “facility” and its lethal contents,  were removed by unknown entities within the Hussein government. 

The report – written after the Bush’s Iraqi invasion - goes on to state plainly:  Stockpiles of chemical munitions are still stored there [Al Muthanna]. The most dangerous ones have been declared to the UN and are sealed in bunkers. Although declared, the bunkers contents have yet to be confirmed. These areas of the compound pose a hazard to civilians and potential blackmarketers. 

The majority of the Al Muthanna complex was bombed during Desert Storm, completely incapacitating Iraq’s chemical weapon production capabilities, however, large stockpiles of chemical weapons and bulk agent survived. 

Stockpiles of chemical munitions are still stored there. The most dangerous ones have been declared to the UN and are sealed in bunkers.
