I think the administration has done a wretched job of PR on this war. Your mention of the chemicals in the Euphrates is the first I've heard of it since the day it happened. Why does highly pertinent info like this keep disappearing down the rabbit hole? If the General's info on WMDs is correct, and I think it probably is, why hasn't the Administration done anything about it, even in just exposing it? In the unlikely event that the President loses this election, failing to address the "no WMD" canard will be proably the most important reasons why.

Nothing is more complex than avoiding the obvious -

And understanding that is the answer to the question you raise about why the WH isn't talking.

The WH has not come out and said WMD was in Iraq but left to other Countries..... Because they are not certain that WMD actually left Iraq -

Intelligence "suspects" this could have happened - But "knowing" and "suspecting" are two completely different ball games -

The fact is, if we KNEW WMD left Iraq and we KNEW it was in X location in Syria.....we would have secured that site with US forces by now -

Lastly, Saddam had all the capabilities to produce WMD - This is a fact (and one in which the WH should talk about more!!) - After 9-11 we could no longer sit back and wait while Saddam would not declare his hand on WMD....nor would he dismantle his WMD producing capabilities -

The World is safer because of our actions -
