Mustard gas is not a weapon for terrorists. It sinks to the ground as it's heavier than air. That's why it was used in WWI and the Iran-Iraq war. Trench warfare. It kills people in foxholes. That's about all it does. Common bombs are much better weapons for terrorists. Bush-Cheney were telling us Saddam had huge qualities of VX nerve gas. Now that is a terrible weapon. They also said he had huge stockpiles of Anthrax. Another lie. And a nuclear program. Another big fat lie. They lied about everything even though they knew that Saddam only had mustard gas. 35 year old Mustard gas shells was all he had and he wasn't planning to do anything with them. He also had nothing to do with Al Qaida. And even if he had offered them to Al Qaida in some neocon fantasy they would have probably turned him down.

there are unconfirmed reports that groups linked to Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network tried to obtain the ingredients to make mustard gas in Afghan labs. I'll take that for agreement mustard gas is something better kept out of terrorists hands. So why did we misdirect our efforts away from Afghanistan into Iraq?? You mean Al Qaida is operating labs in Afghanistan? Nah, they're not. But here's a real question - what do you think we should do additionally in Afghanistan?
