You forget or overlook the complete details.
Sarin and mustard gas discovered separately in Iraq:


The shell in question was identified as an old shell, dating from the Iran-Iraq war and buried in a landfill of disposed explosives after the war. The poison was no longer effective in the first place, and the shell was a binary type, meaning the components of the poison required the rapid spinning produces by the rifiling of an artillary shot to mix the chemicals into a lethal mixture. If if the poison had not degraded it would not have been effective as a IED.

This really was the exception that proved the absense of chemical weapons.
