I don't understand this.

Poland said in a statement from Iraq that "beyond doubt the shells were from the 1980-1988 period, of the type used against Kurds and during the Iraq-Iran war."

The US did nothing to stop Saddam when he used them. AFAIK, the US did not say he was not supposed to have these materials at the time.
It's foolish to think that you can control every little thing in the country. Let's say it's illegal to have drugs. I have drugs at home. Should the president take the blame for that?
Unless they find stuff like hidden factories or storages that are the governments property that contains WMD's...

Poland said it "purchased" the shells through individuals who contacted army officials in its military zone in south-central Iraq.

The above does not equal "Saddam had WMD's in his possesion, ready to use them".
