We were told that Saddam had “weapons of mass destruction”. So Iraq had to be invaded and occupied. Okay. But it would seem to me that the Bush administration would have moved Heaven and Earth to give us 100%, irrefutable proof that those weapons existed. (Not just some guy told some other guy that he saw a weapons truck go into Syria.) Irrefutable proof of WMD never materialized.

But let’s say that those WMD did exist. Is there mere existence enough to start a major war, and throw an entire region into turmoil?

After all, North Korea definitely has WMD. And they are definitely troublemakers. So why not invade North Korea too if that’s all that matters.

So the military intel was either incompetent, or they lied to us. No wonder nobody trusts government.
