st war it appears that old almost useless stock piles of chemical weapons were hidden through out Iraq. We found many, and very good evidence is that some were smuggled to Syria.

Saddam’s second in command of his air force has testified that the deployable chemical weapons were moved to Syria about a month before the Coalition invasion. Saddam did not expect the U.S. to completely topple his regime, so he basically ordered his soldiers not to fight too hard. He wanted them to withdraw, live to fight another day, and then retrieve his weapons stash which was more useful for quelling dissidents than combating real armies like the Americans and British.

Some of those weapons were deployed by the Assad regime during the Syrian Civil War while others were deployed by ISIS forces who had seized Syrian weapons depots.
