Many people and countries did not believe the evidence for WMDs in Iraq and it was why the US had a much tougher time putting a coalition together. Many weapons inspectors on the ground did not have the belief that Hussein had WMDs.
There is no denying that chemical weapons were used. As many experts have now said...the number of people affected, the consistency of symptoms is simply much too hard to fake and if fake very easy to determine it was faked through basic investigation. International groups (doctors without borders etc) have said they were used. The UN inspectors I believe now say they have been used. Russia isn't even contesting that nerve agents have been used.
The question is no longer "if" they have been used but rather "who" and as such the investigations will turn to evidence of delivery and who has access to those means. Most countries believe it was Assad at this time and the ones who support him seem to be silent on this issue right now. We'll find out what some of the countries have to say when UN resolutions are brought forth.
