I'm the troll? For posting an article that reiterated an exhaustively-researched NYT article? That said the chemical shells found in Iraq were from before 1991 and in no way supported Bush's WMD claims? But did hurt soldiers? And that hurt was covered up? By the Bush administration?

Do people fucking read any more? Please, someone, explain it to me.
