“President Bush NEVER fought this.”
No, he never did. In fact, he has said repeatedly, on the record, and even in his book on his Presidency, Decision Points, that we never found WMD’s in Iraq. I think his statements have been one of the major reasons that it is accepted that there were no WMD’s in Iraq.
Perhaps in his mind, he was expecting to find nuclear weapons, or sophisticated biological or chemical weapons, and what we did find just didn’t measure up.
A quick check of a host of military field manuals should have disavowed him of any notion of ‘chemical weapons’ not being WMDs. They are the most often and the most meticulously addressed.
