When you're putting chemical and biological weapons in missiles with
ranges longer than your country is wide, it's *really* hard to call them
"defensive" any more...

Sure, but that's Israel and Syria, not Iraq. (Not that Iraq would have
minded such a capability, but they never managed to develop it)

Not to mention, the usual response - of course it's defensive. If
$enemy attacks us, we can use our defensive WMD to attack their rear
supply areas.
