Of course, I expect that some will just explain this away. What's really surprising is that, even with all of the crap involved with this war (forged documents, fabricated evidence, falsehoods, lack of any of the WMDs discovered, disregarded evidence, etc, etc), some around here refuse to ask any questions...or at least raise an eyebrow. It's all DEFEND, DEFEND, DEFEND.

The UN was sure that he had banned weapons in 1998. The question still remains, what happened to them.

You're probably right. Unless answers are provided, I hope you're wrong though. Of course, there will always be those who turn a blind eye towards anything questionable regarding this war and have no desire to ask any questions.

I think MB already answered that question: Clinton so scared the crap out of him in '99 that he destroyed all of his WMDsBut more importantly, the laundry list of accusations made by the U.S. prior to invading Iraq are surely being whittled down to virtually nothing. The only thing remaining that can be clung to, is that Saddam was bad and we got rid of Saddam. Smiles everyone, smiles.

There will be those who quibble about this and that quote while some are willing to look at the large picture and accept that Saddam's removal was necessary.
Try to see the big picture.

and whatever you do, please do not look at the justifications used by the administration before the war. Please, for your own good, accept the shifting rational and moving of the goalposts. We did it to liberate the Iraqi people. All that talk about UN resolutions and WMDs and "we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud" are just little, insignificant details.

No, they are important. Saddam had weapons programs in 1998. The UN inspection team before they left the country was quite sure of that.
Now unless you believe that Saddam found Jebus and got rid of them all, can you tell the world where they went?

Have you forgotten about the Joint resolution? How about the address to the nation the day the attack started? Yeh, he never mentioned anything but actual WMDsnothing about the people, the resolutions, the programs...nope- none at all.![]()
If you and Freegeeks wish to dwell on one aspect - so be it, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket....if you know what I mean![]()

and the fact still remains that the Bush administration and Tony Blair only talked about WMD for justification of the Iraqi war. Now you are blaiming us that we want some prove of the WMD ??? What kind of logic is that.
