    THIS!!!

    There are MANY reports that I am sure even Red has come across that state that SH did in fact use WMD’s. SH killed thousands upon thousands with chemical weapons. Most of this was in the late 80’s early 90’s.

    Does anyone really think that SH just stopped making these weapons? Come on now. They weren’t found b/c SH moved them out of the country.

    No. They were found and destroyed by years of UNSCOM inspections. We didn't find any WMD, just like the UNSCOM inspectors told us.

    Of course. It's common knowlege that Saddam Hussein had a religious conversion and did everything he could to abide by UN sanctions before his untimely death.:rolleye33:

    Iraq sent their airforce to Iran before the war. They could have sent wmd's to other countries. If he did it is disturbing the CIA didn't know about it.

    Not exactly. Several Iraq pilots fled to Iran for santuary during Desert Storm. Iran impounded the jets as reparations for the Iran-Iraq war. By the time 2003 rolled around the Iraqi airforce consisted of less than 200 jets, and most could not be flown.

    There is little chance any WMD were moved because there is little chance any WMD existed.

    From what I understand the U.N. Weapons inspectors got them all. Still that leads us to this question. If Iraq had no WMD program left and Iran does have a WMD program why in the hell did we spend all that money and lose so many American lives attacking the wrong freaking country?

    Simply because we are nice guys and wanted to help them out and rid SH so they could be free. Ugh.

    Sorry. It doesn't add up. Why would Saddam Hussein decide that this was the one area where he would be a good little boy while suicidally thumbing his nose at every other sanction?
