Why is the NY Times such a lying news rag?

I mean, clearly they and the administration is lying about chemical weapons, just to go to war... .right?

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.
quote:.
The New York Times found 17 American service members and seven Iraqi police officers who were exposed to nerve or mustard agents after 2003. American officials said that the actual tally of exposed troops was slightly higher, but that the government’s official count was classified.
The secrecy fit a pattern. Since the outset of the war, the scale of the United States’ encounters with chemical weapons in Iraq was neither publicly shared nor widely circulated within the military. These encounters carry worrisome implications now that the Islamic State, a Qaeda splinter group, controls much of the territory where the weapons were found

Overlooked the other. It happens. RA'd as no longer needed. Not that difficult to just do that and not respond instead of bumping with a wow. again?

Propaganda organ of the regime.

There is a lot developing. Might want to keep your powder dry. I'm reserving judgement for now.
There was a story in WAPO showing that the weapons found were pre 1991 - or perhaps 1980ish. Bush based his justification on Iraq on ongoing WMD efforts... I'm going to wait until the dust settles.
