Anfal might have been relatively primitive. Primitive doesn't mean "low power", esp. if primitive is combined with massive.

Saddam's previously displayed chemical warfare capabilities were hardly primitive.

Primitive doesn’t mean ineffective. A primitive CBW capacity can be very devastating, especially when deployed against an undefended or poorly defended civilian population. Saddam’s efforts to use his WMD against Iranian forces – hardly a technologically sophisticated army – did not prove terribly effective.
