I haven't seen anything yet to indicate that the chemicals in Jordan were anything of military significance, no. There are barrels of "nerve agents," apparently purchased on the open market. I've got a garage shelf full of "nerve agents," aka pesticides.

They're nothing compared to the ones Ish, as a farmer, can buy, but that's because the EPA keeps tabs on stuff like that here in the US.

The difference between nerve gas and pestiticides is one of degree, not kind.

If the chemicals were of military significance, it would not be kept secret.
