It's easy for people--with the possible exception of Jeb Bush--to say that they would not have supported the invasion of Iraq knowing what we know now about WMD there.
But Chris Matthews took things a foolish step further on this evening's Hardball, actually claiming that "there was no intelligence they had a weapon. Never was." Really? So Hillary, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, Ted Kennedy et al. were collective fabricators when they issued dire warnings, based on the intelligence they had seen, about Saddam's WMD?

The UN inspector Ridder I think was his name found no WMD but a convoy of 100 trucks left Iraq and went to Syria.

I may be nuts. (my wife will confirm it, if asked), but didn't Saddam Hussein actually use mustard gas and nerve gas (WMD's) against the Kurds?

The Spitter seems not to grasp the difference between the existence of faulty intelligence and the absence of intelligence.

So how did Hussein kill all those Kurds, then? With his bad breath?

That’s why, in the period of the first Gulf War, when there was a Scud attack and people would pull out gas masks, everyone watching would wonder “Why on earth would they use gas masks? Everyone knows Sadaam doesn’t have any weapons like that!”

What about the “yellow cake” the U.S. military brought out of Iraq and gave to Canada? What was that?

What would Chris Matthews know about intelligence, having never encountered any?

What is it about the Kool-Aid that causes men to toss away their integrity.
Chris Matthews has been brainwashed and simply doesn't care about the truth.
Quite strange.

Matthews has been rowing with only one oar in the water for quite some time now.

“Sad” for Tingle resorting to have a Jeb Bush troll as his guest on the show nobody watches.
And the whopper of the “Never” lie.

I will never forget the time my husbands was in Tel Aviv and the government was passing out gas masks and holding end of the world parties while they watched their TVs and called out to each other the play by play as Saddam was positioning and threatening to shoot anthrax scuds into Israel.
Why do I never hear anyone discuss this? Ever.
I was seriously afraid that Saddam would kill him with anthrax... a WMD.
