The evidence that Iraq had chemical weapons and used them against Iranian forces is extensively documented. The Wikipedia page has a list of good resources. [0]
However, that programme was dismantled as a result of international inspections and pressure after the 1991 Gulf War, and it was not restarted by 2003 as claimed by the US government as part of their justification for the invasion that year. US troops did find a number of chemical weapons elements, but all it seemed dated from the previous programme.
