The President has spoken up about these things before.
It isn't THAT important because existing WMDs were only a part of why we went in. It wasn't the only manor reasons.

The defied sanctions and in the last year shot nearly 300 times at planes patrolling the no-fly zone.

Saddam had a history of allowing terrorists in.
He had camps there for them to be trained before and was financing homicide bombers in Israel and elsewhere up to $25,000 an attack.

He was using oil money to finance terror.

Scientists who escaped claimed he had is weapons scientist and technology on standby to start right up if sanctions were lifted.

He was pursuing a nuke before, and scientist came forward with parts and records showing he had interests to start on that again right away also if sanctions were lifted.

We also found over 230 mass graves.
Tens of thousands of tapes of executions.
Rape and torture rooms were all over.

We can go on and on and on.

I agree with everything that you say, except I'm not sure that I understand one point.

When you say that "the President has spoken up about these things before," I need clarification

Are you saying that the President has responded to the "you lied or misled about WMDs because Iraq had none" leftist attacks on him by pointing out that some WMDs were, in fact, found? When and where? I'm not aware of him making this point that actual WMDs were found in Iraq.

Notwithstanding your valid points about other reasons to invade Iraq, the liberal media has rewritten history to falsely say the WMDs was the only reason to go into Iraq.

President Bush and the U.S. are getting slaughtered and are badly losing a propaganda war over the WMD issue.

Since WMDs were found, why doesn't the President and the country defend itself against false charges of lying and false statements that no WMDs were found?

The Iraqi WMDs appear to have been pre-1991 manufacture. The U.S. was unable to find the larger stockpiles that U.S. and foreign intelligence agencies all thought Iraq had. (Some of the stockpiles were likely buried, whereas other stockpiles were probably shipped to Syria.)

Still, WMDs were found and they could easily have been used to terrorize innocent civilians in the U.S. or elsewhere.

No way should we be losing this propaganda war as the truth is on our side.

Link evidence of what? That Saddam misread signs from U.S. ambassador April Gillespie about his planned invasion of Kuwait? This is common knowledge. I did not in any way imply we tricked Saddam into invading Kuwait - the we tricked Saddam into invading Kuwait is the urban legend portion of the story.
