Of course they existed. The U.N. inspection teams put their hands on them, tagged and inventoried them, and took samples. Warehouses full of the stuff.
This, after Hussein had used some of them against the Kurds.
Further, right before the last election, the IAEA leaked [distorted] stuff to the U.S. media to slam the President right before the 2004 elections. No one remembers the claim we didn't safeguard these various elements of a nuclear program, when we invaded?

Seems to be a fair number of folks here that think the NY Times is the authority on WMD's.

Yes. I remember. It was kind of funny. "No WMDs - impeach Bush." Followed soon after by "Bush didn't safeguard the WMDs - impeach Bush."
It reminded be of Monica playing with the MSM. She would appear to cooperate with Starr and the story became "She's a stalker - no man can say no." Then she would appear to confront Starr and the story became "Poor Monica, she's being picked on." Then back to "she's a stalker," then "Poor Monica." She managed to treat the News industry like a yo yo. I don't suppose it was intentional, but it was hilarious. Can you imagine the confusion in the news room. What's the spin today?
