Sigh..... even here. :-(
No one is EVER "certain" in the intelligence business. But, there clearly was 'consensus' that a stockpile existed. The Russians even warned us to expect them to be used against us if we invaded. Even as the US was closing in on Bagdad, Saddam was threatening to USE what he did not have.
It just kills me how people conveniently forget what they don't want to remember.

A sad fact of the human estate is that we are all blind sheep led by blind sheep, which proves there is a God in heaven who ultimately brings His will to pass, I saw this in America’s birth and , Praise Jesus Christ, in Israel , the reborn nation that will be the nation the Lord Jesus will rule from for 1000 years after the coming 7 year tribulation wrath of God to bring in His Kingdom on the earth.
Before Saddam went into hiding he was adamantly shouting that he had no WMDs. He didn't threaten to use nuclear weapons against the US military and in fact the reverse was true. He was told by diplomats just before the invasion commenced that if he used poison gas or anything the USA would totally nuke Iraq into a sheet of glass.
I'm generally a proponent of war. Some people just need killing. Just don't confuse the war sales pitch with the history of what actually went down. The truth is much more interesting.
