Not quite; I've edited it for you.
Obama, via Russia took the Chemical Weapons from Assad, which, in theory, left those possibly in the grasp of ISIS or our BFF, the FSA, still in their hands. While at some time, ISIS or FSA overran a chemical weapons depot in Iraq, (which did not contain chemicals at all, because Russia helped Syria get rid of them while making Obama look good), either or both may have been give quantities of gas by their sympathizers within the army.
Iraq then 10 years earlier reported to the UN in '03 (very awkward, but I didn't want you to feel like you hadn't written it) that they could not destroy the chemical weapons (not there), precisely because they were not there, as they had fulfilled their pledge to destroy those (that the UN said were there) according to a UN agreement.

"There were about 700 inspections, and in no case did we find weapons of mass destruction," said Hans Blix, the Swedish diplomat called out of retirement to serve as the United Nations' chief weapons inspector from 2000 to 2003

In case you don't know what happened after that, the US responded by telling Blix that he was wrong, so wrong that if he didn't leave Iraq in 3 days, we were gonna drop bombs on his head. He did, we didn't on him, cuz he was back on US soil, but we bombed all the places where he has been in Iraq, cuz we were really, really pissed at him, and what happened after that is a long tale.
