This is horrendous. Found this as well.

Just scanned this quickly, but 4 of 5 incidents were before 2009. Can't blame this on Obama. Not quite sure why the previous administration hid this. You would think it would have supported their initial claims for going to war.

And now those chemicals are in the hands of ISIS! WTF!!

Can't be it's a lie, remember, there were no chemical weapons to be found.

So why would the administration that had that as the reason for that war suppress this information since 2004?

How should I know except they told us they were there and nobody believed the previous administration. Maybe a few shells here and there wasn't news worthy. Who knows what's is going on in the government.

Then a poor job by the Bush administration on a couple levels. The one where they apparently hung some of these guys out that were exposed and did little to help them being the worst.

Oh come on you can't blame Bush........ He just read it in the paper.

Money and Politics!!

Others told the Times that the U.S. may have hidden the findings because five of the six incidents in which coalition forces were wounded by chemical weapons involved munitions designed by the U.S. companies! ( pre-1991)

And the U.S. continues to make money like this ! Recently Hagel visited  India to sell weapons to world’s biggest arms buyer! Five years from now..those weapons could be in the Middle East  Russia, China...
