FYI... Nk is the bigger immediate threat to global stability. On the ISIS front, you can't go to war and defeat an ideology! It will rear it's ugly head as a different "name".

Tons of what, decades old degraded chemical weapons Rumsfeld helped Iraq get when they were fighting our common enemy, Iran?

There's a reason their existence and discovery has largely gone unnoticed, and it has nothing to do with a lack of "left wing media reporting", but because they were not part of any active WMD program we were sold on as a reason to invade.

Keep that head buried. Their chemical weapons program was extensive and included mustard, sarin, cyclosarin, vx, anthrax, botulinum, and aflatoxins. FYI, the U.S. never gave Iraq chemical or biological weapons. Unfortunately, the U.S. did allow the purchase of materials and other supplies to buildup their anthrax and botulinum programs. The chemicals were manufactured wholly by the Iraqi government in numerous know facilities. After the war, many of these known facilities still housed CBW so hot that we turned a blind eye after many of us starting getting strange illnesses. The Iraqi government was left to handle it, and they chose to bury or let them be. There were still facilities unexplored that pop-up in the news even today thanks to ISIS. Search al-Muthanna, Abu Ghraib, al Taji , and Fallujah to name a few places. Look up MOD's cleanup agreement. Heck, feel free to search the CIA library. This doesn't include the huge nuclear program they had started.
