A lot people have been speculating that the Iraqis don't know how to
put Chemical weapons on the Scud.  The problem being that when the
missile explode the heat will destory the chemicals.  Apparently there
must be some mechanism for the chemicals to be released before impact.
Does this explain why the Iraqis wanted to construct a super gun ?
Is the technology to deliver chemical weapons by artillery simpler then
that for missiles ?
