Regarding WMDs and Iraq, please think about the following FACTS: when Saddam gassed the Kurds and Iranians he had WMDs and would never have used even 50% of such weaponry in those actions because he would reserve more for retaliations; tons of African yellow cake discovered in 2003 in Iraq were not there to refine power station radioactive materials; the Russians were doing all they could to aid and abet Saddam as a means to harm the U.S. and there are data showing Russian cargo movements out of Iraq just prior to our invasion of Saddam's country.

"The Soviet bloc not only sold Saddam its WMDs, but it showed them how to make them "disappear." Russia is still at it. Primakov was in Baghdad from December until a couple of days before the war, along with a team of Russian military experts led by two of Russia's topnotch "retired"generals: Vladislav Achalov, a former deputy defense minister, and Igor Maltsev, a former air defense chief of staff. They were all there receiving honorary medals from the Iraqi defense minister. They clearly were not there to give Saddam military advice for the upcoming war—Saddam's Katyusha launchers were of World War II vintage, and his T-72 tanks, BMP-1 fighting vehicles and MiG fighter planes were all obviously useless against America. 'I did not fly to Baghdad to drink coffee,' was what Gen. Achalov told the media afterward. They were there orchestrating Iraq's "Sarindar" plan."
