Even senior military leaders responsible for defending Baghdad, for example, thought their troops were equipped with chemical weapons -- not their own units, to be sure, but the ones to either side.
This has been pretty widely repeated, with the one repeating it hastily saying, it was like a twilight zone.

Perhaps so. But it stretches one's imagination to believe that these "generals" who were stationed side by side never spoke to one another or ever coordinated any strategies with each other. All of them were ignorant of what the others were doing, or what weapons they had.

This claim, as with so many others, strikes me as utter nonsense. The only way I will believe it is if someone besides the US or Britain who is trustworthy interviews these guys and comes out with the same thing. Even then, I would find it hard to believe if the "generals" were just going back to be locked up in US or British custody.
