Can you hear me now?

Then why did you invade Iraq if they were gone dipshit?

Not if they are binary agents - which many/most are. Then they last a looooong time.

Two separate and stable chemicals are in the shell. When it is fired - or right before it is fired - the chemicals are mixed together and form the toxic poison.

The most important chemical reactions of phosphoryl halides is the hydrolysis of the bond between phosphorus and the fluoride. This P-F bond is easily broken by nucleophilic agents, such as water and hydroxide. At high pH, sarin decomposes rapidly to nontoxic phosphonic acid derivatives.[12][13]
Sarin degrades after a period of several weeks to several months. The shelf life can be shortened by impurities in precursor materials. According to the CIA, some Iraqi sarin had a shelf life of only a few weeks, owing mostly to impure precursors.[14]
Its otherwise-short shelf life can be extended by increasing the purity of the precursor and intermediates and incorporating stabilizers such as tributylamine. In some formulations, tributylamine is replaced by diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), allowing sarin to be stored in aluminium casings. In binary chemical weapons, the two precursors are stored separately in the same shell and mixed to form the agent immediately before or when the shell is in flight. This approach has the dual benefit of solving the stability issue and increasing the safety of sarin munitions.

And Syria is now hiding their WMDs (presumably the WMDs they got from Iraq) in Iraq !

So now Obama will have to invade Iraq to stop Assad from crossing that phony red line !

Everyday, CBJ7, you plumb the depths of your own idiocy -- and you've yet to find the bottom!?!

Links? Or are you just busy throwing out "dumbass" dumbass?

Here's my link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halabja_chemical_attack

It talks about precursors. Usually precursors need to be put together in a lab. So where are the labs you mentioned?

kinda the point of my initial post and the quality/shelf life of Iraqs so called chemical weapons that went to Syria

I see your confusion stems from the meaning of the word "never."
