The official said the reports are credible because of prior information, but did not elaborate.<\/p>\n<p>Mustard gas is considered an &#8220;antiquated&#8221; weapon that must be used in very large concentrations to be lethal, the official told CBS News.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, what are we going to do about it? ISIS knows that we didn&#8217;t do anything to the Syrian government when they used chemical weapons against rebels, so we won&#8217;t do anything to ISIS, either. Hussein didn&#8217;t use chemical weapons against US troops in 1991 or 2003 because he knew that the retribution would be forceful, but ISIS isn&#8217;t dealing with a Bush, are they?<\/p>\n<p>And, oh, yeah, how could the mustard gas they&#8217;re using originated with Hussein?
