Nothing to see hee, move along people....
Curious minds want to know
Why didn’t the US destroy any WMD’s when we were there? I’d like to ask George Bush that question.
The Dimocrats lied and people will die. . . .
Pretty interesting how the US, with the highest technology in history, couldn’t find the weapons in 10 years but the a rag tag bunch of stone-age tribesmen found the stuff in 2 days...
I clicked on the link to the Telegraph which is the source. But all I see is the headline, no story.
But... but... they don’t exist.
The citizens of The United States are too stupid and fearful to handle the truth about world events.....or so our government thinks. Then, it becomes easier for the politicians and bureaucrats to justify withholding more information from the citizens because it would just frighten them. Pretty soon, they don’t let us know any bad news.
How in the world can a Democracy function in a nation where the government won’t tell you when they screw up?
OK we were in the damned country for what, 10 years? And we didn’t think to destroy them while we were there?
WMDs in Iraq ? ? .
The moment it was known that ISIS had discovered Saddam’s chemical storage facilities, the place should’ve been carpet bombed.
Did Saddam Hussein have chemical (NBC, WMD) weapons? Of course he did; he used them against Iran, and Shia muslims and Kurds in his own country. Did he cooperate with UN weapons inspectors? Not according to the weapons inspectors.
Was it all about WMDs? No. Saddam Hussein supported terrorism. Saddam Hussein never fully complied with the peace treaty following his ouster from Kuwait by George Bush Sr.
Consider the IRAQ LIBERATION ACT OF 1998 signed by President Clinton:

Congress and President Clinton cited many reasons for their goals of regime change, a military tribunal to try Hussein, and the establishment of Democracy in Iraq. Clinton declared war on Hussein by such means as funding opposition groups, and making radio broadcasts.
One of the leaders of the 1996 World Trade Center bombing worked for the Iraqi CIA. One terrorist training camp in Iraq had commercial planes that were used for hijacking drills. Did Hussein have any covert involvement in the 2001 attacks? Our one party press immediately said "NO!" I wonder what they would have said if Gore were President instead of Bush. They might even have shared this photograph:

Since dollars had failed to oust Hussein, it was only sensible for Congress and President Bush to give war a chance:
AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ RESOLUTION OF 2002

So Bush won the war in Iraq. Bush and Colin Powell frittered it away. Bush, Petreus and the surge won it back. President Hussein Obama gave the country away.
As for the WMDS, most were moved to Syria. Why these chemical stockpiles were not destroyed I can not say. Both President Bush and President Obama bear responsibility.
President Saddam Hussein did pursue nuclear weapons, but our invasion of Iraq stopped him. Now President Hussein Obama is allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
President Hussein is also allowing the nearly unrestricted immigration of Muslims to the US. The Boston marathon bombers had “terrorist” all over them, but Obama’s FBI did nothing. There will be more Jihadi attacks on American soil.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
Said like the guy in Grown-Ups 2 movie.
