You're right, America never lied about WMD.  Our neo-fascist 
administration did.  Argue against that to your own peril.  It's pretty 
well documented at this point and others of a more recognized and 
respected ilk have made the case better than I ever could...

Technicality: perhaps not in the military, but many doctors and chemists 
consider tear gas to be a nerve agent as it does have some of the 
effects of nerve agents, just not the extreme effects we think about 
when we think about chemical weapon WMDs.  But there are many cases 
where exposure to tear gas has caused long-lasting, sometimes lifelong, 
effects on the nervous system.

I think you two are using different definitions for Chemical Weapons, 
perhaps.
