Says right in your article you linked that they "Never found the WMD's" and only makes reference to injuries from chemical agents they came in contact with.
Which could be anything from U.S. Burn Pits, to incidental chemical exposure that is bound to happen when you have 170,000 people going through shit they can't read being retards.

Houthis are disposable zealots for Iran to needle Israel and western trade within the Red Sea. Personally i have no issue with the occasional drone strike here and there to keep them in check but realistically that won't do much.

I don't support anything beyond this, and it would be a huge mistake if the US was to get drawn in more with some larger scale actual war. I mean after 20+ years of wars of in ME, it should be blatantly clear that a war wont accomplish much.

I doubt this escalates more than occasional periodic strikes. The current priority for this admin is economic/trade/western hemisphere. I think Trump is smart enough to not let Israel pull us into this nonsense in any serious or committed way.

Fact is. They were supposed to dispose of these.

"From 2004 to 2011, American and American-trained Iraqi troops repeatedly encountered, and on at least six occasions were wounded by, chemical weapons remaining from years earlier in Saddam Hussein's rule.
"In all, American troops secretly reported finding roughly 5,000 chemical warheads, shells or aviation bombs, according to interviews with dozens of participants, Iraqi and American officials, and heavily redacted intelligence documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act."

This is the same source as your first link, simply posted elsewhere. Why would the US cover up incidents related to the justification they gave for the war in the first place? This is just ridiculous.

Why would Bush go in there? Everyone has “theories”. You can’t say one conspiracy theory is less than another just cause you like it.


PS npr “back then” was one of the top trusted news sources in the world. Just to be clear.

A united secular Arab world was a threat to US hegemony

Had to show em whose boss eh?

If they had anything tangible about actual WMD's, do you really think the Pentagon would of kept it secret?
Or do you think they would of avoided the humiliation of no WMD's found by the U.S. in Iraq.
If they had anything in a favorable light they would of bragged about it to no end, justifying the invasion.
Now you are claiming remnants, that were supposed to be disposed of.
There was a Chemical weapons munitions plant in Vermilion County Indiana that stored VX nerve gas for decades and they didn't even get the funding to dispose of it until the mid 2000s, and it wasn't disposed of until 2008.
There was enough never gas in the Newport munitions plant that if it were released and the wind was going the right direction it could of killed all of Chicagoland.

The source isn’t NPR, it’s just citing an article published by the New York Times where there’s a claim soldiers were hurt by what seems to be chemical agents in 6 incidents over a decade of war.

It wasn’t a "theory" as you say, it was a claim presented as an absolute truth by the US and UK government to justify waging war in Iraq. It turned out to be a lie.

E/ typo
