The Russians, French and Germans were seeking Oil Options from Sadaam and were kneck deep in the Oil for Food Scandal. The WMDs and other weapons were Oil for Food gravy demanded by Sadaam. Why do you think President Bush invaded WHEN he did? He had all the intelligence on Russian, German, and France's activities, and knew that if he waited longer to act, then Iraq would have been a bastion Bristling with Euro-weaponry.
Why were the French, Russian and German governments so bent on wooing Sadaam? They wanted to diminish the US presence in the ME to the point that the Euro would supplant the US dollar as the world accepted currency for the International Oil trade. They failed, thanks to GW Bush.And our economy booms, but for how much longer thanks to the liberal socialist moonbat Democrats who are still in Utopian denial?
It will be years before this truth comes out as intelligence documents are released decades from now. They will show that the Oil for Food scandal, and the complicity of the UN's Khofi Annan CAUSED the conditions which required US intervention in Iraq.
WMDs went to Syria? You bet they did. President Bush caught the Europeans with their pants down, and Putin is still smarting over it.
Many of the conventional weapons from the Europeans were left behing while the WMDs were hustled out to Syria.

Photos Prove Iraq Violated U.N. Weapons Ban

French Weapons Dated 2001

NewsMax has obtained exclusive photographs proving that Iraq violated a U.N. Security Council ban on importing weapons. The photographs show a wide variety of imported weapons with production dates as recent as 2001.
A U.S. military inspection team that visited an Iraqi air force munitions site in late September 2003 took the photographs. The site, located in the Suni triangle near Baghdad, has at least 13 concrete bunkers filled with missiles, bombs and bomb-fusing devices.
U.S. military teams uncovered several examples of U.N. violations, including a number of French bomb fuses with a production date of "2001-Sep-5."
The French-made aerial bomb fuses had documentation noting that the devices were produced in 2001. The French bomb fuses were stored in a box stating the manufacture date was 1985 in an apparent effort to mislead U.N. and U.S. inspectors.
Cluster Bombs
Another series of photos shows that U.S. inspection teams discovered a cache of South African CB470 cluster bombs. According to the declaration made in November 2002 by Saddam Hussein, Iraq had no such weapons.
Saddam denied that he had cluster bombs but U.S. State Department photos prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom showed that Iraqi Air Force engineers were working on modifying conventional cluster bombs into chemical weapons.
Cluster bombs carry a large number of "bomblets" or "sub-munitions," small, softball-sized grenades that separate from the main bomb unit. The falling bomblets then shower a large area with explosions.
Cluster bomb technology can be adapted to chemical or biological warfare by replacing the conventional explosive submunitions with biotoxin-armed bomblets.
Russian Bombs
Another example was a large quantity of KMG-U cluster bomb dispensers developed in Russia by the Spetztekhnika Vympel NPO in Moscow and manufactured by Bazalt State Research and Production Enterprise.
The Iraqi KMG-U dispensers were armed with the PTAB2.5 anti-tank bomblets and AO2.5 bomblets. According to the Russian manufacturer, the KMG-U dispenser and submunitions were not available for export until 1993. However, there are no reported export sales.
The U.S. teams also found fully active Russian-made AA-8 air-to-air missiles, French-made Durandal anti-runway rocket bombs, Russian anti-personnel cluster bomblets and huge quantities of unguided rockets. Many of the munitions were piled into large heaps or simply scattered over the open countryside.
The condition of the find illustrates the huge task faced by U.S. forces as they try to disarm Iraq. Saddam loyalists could easily obtain and use the munitions found lying in the open desert against American forces.
Moreover, the discrepancies between documentation, box markings and actual items found show that an intentional effort was made by Iraqi troops to mislead U.N. inspection teams. In some cases false shipping documents written in English were discovered with the weapons.
In addition, the effort to find chemical or biological weapons is being hampered by the vast quantity of conventional munitions stored in dangerous conditions. The Iraqi army was well-known for storing chemical weapons with its conventional explosives.

The Russians, French and Germans wanted Sadaam dead more than anyone. They were afraid he would sing. Too bad he did not. Then we would know the full WMD story from the lips of one they damned.
