“Second - He knew that if he used them on the US, the response would have been nuclear (at least with this President).”

I believe that was the protocol during the Bush I Admin.

The story is simply not true.

#1 - Chemical and biological weapons leave behind chemical signatures, much like radioactive materials leave behind a signature. That’s how we found the old stuff after the first war. No traces this time.

#2 - What military dictator GIVES UP weapons as a preparation for invasion? Using WMDs against American troops would have made him a god in the eyes of Islamic militants.

#3 - Why send them to Syria? Do people who push this theory really think he thought we’d invade, overthrow him, not find any weapons and put him back in power?

#4 - If it’s even remotely true, why isn’t Bush telling people or pressing Syria on the issue? Do the people who push this think he loves watching his legacy destroyed?

This utter conspiracy nuttery is becoming our “electronic vote stealing.”

Maybe Bush is protecting people who were involved with the UN OFF Scandal?

Look at Duelfer’s Report about Illicit Procurement.
Many countries are involved.

Maybe WMD went to Libya?

Why did the leader of Libya gave up his WMD program after Saddam was captured?

I was reading Qadhdhafi was terrified he was going to be next on the axis of evil but Qadhdhafi claims it was not our presence that made him give up his WMD.

He’s trying to save face.

Bush Administration are keeping quite for political leverage?

“...so iraq disarmed per UN agreement then, right?”

Reminds me of a meth lab getting wind of a police raid.

What do you do?

If you have enough time....move your illict ware to your friends house...the search warrant is only good for your house.

When the police come they have a empty house.
Now embarrass the police when you take them to court.

[Milligan]

Well, how about this.
Saddam did not need large stockpiles.

“Iraq’s Real Weapons Threat” by Rolf Ekeus, June 29, 2003

Column by Former Head of UN Inspections Effort in Iraq

“the Iraqi policy after the Gulf War was to halt all production of warfare agents and to focus on design and engineering, with the purpose of activating production and shipping of warfare agents and munitions directly to the battlefield in the event of war. Many hundreds of chemical engineers and production and process engineers worked to develop nerve agents, especially VX, with the primary task being to stabilize the warfare agents in order to optimize a lasting lethal property. Such work could be blended into ordinary civilian production facilities and activities, e.g., for agricultural purposes, where batches of nerve agents could be produced during short interruptions of the production of ordinary chemicals.

This combination of researchers, engineers, know-how, precursors, batch production techniques and testing is what constituted Iraq’s chemical threat — its chemical weapon. The rather bizarre political focus on the search for rusting drums and pieces of munitions containing low-quality chemicals has tended to distort the important question of WMD in Iraq and exposed the American and British administrations to unjustified criticism.”

you bet

[Ooh-Ah]

Remember how Saddam moved his airplanes to his arch enemy Iran during the 1st Gulf War? He does have a history of moving what he doesn’t want us to get.
