I know you were just being sarcastic, but there really is overwhelming evidence of WMD in Iraq. I really don't know why the Bush administration let the Dems get away with all the lies.

Fact Sheet: Iraq's Nuclear Weapon Programme

INVO's extensive inspection activities in Iraq between 1991 and 1998 resulted in a technically coherent picture of Iraq's clandestine nuclear programme. The programme was very well funded and was aimed at the indigenous development and exploitation of technologies for the production of weapons-grade nuclear material and production and manufacturing of nuclear weapons. IAEA report S/1997/779 to the UN Security Council provides a detailed overview of Agency activities in Iraq and its assessment of Iraq's clandestine nuclear weapon programme. An update and summary of this report can be found in S/1998/927 and S/1999/393. The reports cover all Agency activities in Iraq between 1991 and 1998.

Not far from the truth. One reason I KNOW they had WMD's was that in the 80's, we SOLD THEM TO THE IRAQIIS! We probably still have the paperwork hidden somewhere. Then we watched them USE THEM ON TV! These tidbits are *forgotten* by the MSM.
