The "no chem weapons used" is part of a long list of "was predicted, didn't happen" items.

-- No missiles fired on Israel
-- At least one dam was wired with explosives, but never blown up
-- Several bridges were wired, but never blown up
-- Not a hint of any Iraqi Air Force, even on day one before their runways were made unusable
-- They could have easily created humanitarian crises, causing refugees to clog the roads and slow the military
-- They could have engineered more specific bombing of civilians to try to create more anti-war fervor
-- They could have started terrorism elsewhere in the world

...and much more. It suggests that there have been serious hits to that "command and control". And maybe some incredible intelligence work.
