@WaterlooTriumphGuy in 1991 there were rockets found with sarin gas in them saddam didnt lauch them because he was told in no uncertain terms that if he did the us would turn bagdad into a glass parking lot. The US didnt tell saddam to gas thouse villages he chose to do that. just as he did gas Iranians from 1980-88.
