We sold them chemical weapons back in the 80s, but that's not what Colin Powell was talking about when he went in front of Congress to lie about yellowcake uranium.
What I recall was Powell testifying in front of the UN for 3 days. He covered a myriad of topics that occurred during the 90s that Bill Clinton didn't address until he got in impeachment trouble. Attempted assassination of George H. Bush, anti-air craft weapons locking onto US planes, playing hide-n-seek with UN Weapon Inspectors...the WMDs was just a quick media blurb they could show the stupefied masses pictures of so they could nod their heads to understand why the Gulf War was restarting. Which is exactly what this was as he was failing to abide by his agreements to end that war.
It should had been called Gulf War 2, once Saddam was overthrown within the first 3 days declare victory and leave, Bush let the Democrats talk him into "re"building Iraq.
