"Since May 2004, Coalition forces have recovered 4,996 filled and unfilled
pre-DESERT STORM (1991 Gulf War) Iraqi chemical munitions; both serviceable and unserviceable, including 420 munitions recovered between April 2009 and March 2011."

"Of the 420 CW munitions recovered from April 2009 to March 2011, 393 of these rounds were nonviable CW munitions. The nonviable CW munitions were incapable of holding a chemical agent fill because they were environmentally degraded, punched or drilled, or were never filled and lacked the fill plug necessary to contain the chemical fill. The remaining 27 CW munitions remained in such a condition as to still be considered viable."
A volt, amúgy republikánus szimpatizáns ENSZ megfigyelő(inspector) Stott Ritter szerint Irak 98-2002 között a meg maradt WMD kapacitásának 90-95%-át felszámolta. A maradék képesség nem indokolta volna egy ország középkorba való visszabombázását, a nyugatra jelentős veszélyt már nem jelentett.
