What they ARE guilty of, without a doubt, along with a whole mass of European countries (actually companies within those countries) is selling them the material to which they could manufacture chemical weapons.
How about so good ole' condemnation for the Europeans to go along with the vitrol spat at the USA? I don't see any investigations within Europe.

Yes they did.
What the article shows is that they ARE guilty of knowing that Saddam was using chemical weapons on his people and the Iranians. They chose to ignore that because economic relations with Saddam was more important.
From the article I quoted......
Declassified documents show that Rumsfeld traveled to Baghdad at a time when Iraq was using chemical weapons on an "almost daily" basis in defiance of international conventions.
Why sell a country materials that could be used in chemical weapons when they knew full well what Saddam was doing to his people and the Iranians?
