People in intelligence community only use the term WMD to refer to nuclear weapons. Chemical and biological do not qualify. This is part of the basic misrepresentation that was carried out to justify the war in the first place.

The Sarin Nerve Gas is on the Banned List of Weapons. This is the bomb that was exploded near the Marines outpost. Maybe not considered a WMD, but certainly not on the OK to hide list and then use at a later date.quote:

WMD's are any weapons that can cause mass destruction of Property or LIVES. They can be nuclear or biological or conventional.quote:

If you will do the most basic research you will find that chemical weapons are so tricky to work with as to be impractical, and furthermore they have an extremely short shelf life. If you haven't heard anyone surface this argument before you haven't been paying attention.
I too live not far from a chemical weapons depot,they are EXTREMELY dangerous even after all of these years.For anyone to think otherwise is to not have a true knowledge of them.These weapons leak and have to be dealt with quite often.Where I live the depot has to report any agent that leaks from a round.That round must be placed in a sealed air tight cylinder to keep it from causeing any danger to people.These weapons are as I said extremely dangerous.Some nerve agants can kill thousands with just a small drop of the agent.
