A Mediterranean Battlefield - Syria
I seem to recall a report that CBW were found in Iraq. But the problem was where they were made, and so it was never followed. But let's face it, we do know for certain that the US and Europe did provide Saddam with chemical weapons components and biological weapon cultures when he was our friend, in fact we all fell all over ourselves arming him to the teeth. Then when he was no longer a friend, we took him out.

Good business requires long term planning.

And then there was that little know time when, during Iraq war I, a US aircraft flew a mission into Iraq towards a CBW facility but was shot down on it's way back to it's aircraft carrier. The plane crashed inside Iraq but not too far from the Saudi border. It was eventually recovered by US forces, but one bomb remained hanging of its wing, and it was leaking from the crash. It was a mixed munition and one of it's several chemical and biological components was Sarin.

This is not to say Saddam was a nice cuddly boy. He used chemical weapons for sure.

But when it comes to the use of chemical and biological weapon, the first port of call is the US and NATO allies. They're the ones with the real track record of either supply or actual use.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
