I suspect the WMD claim was based on classified information that Bush could not reveal, yet, he wanted to use it. As President he should have either revealed the information or not used it as a basis for war.

Thank you for explaining the Orwellian doublethink on Bush’s WMD that continues to make well-meaning conservatives look insane.

He didn’t deliberately lie, he based his decision on the info presented to him. I think it w as s true, and they took the WMD to Syria before we got there.

there were WMD in Iraq. if you go over all the news reports at the time a picture appears of what happen to the weapons. weeks before we invaded a convoy of vehicles carried most of the chemical weapons over to Syria.when we invaded traces of theses weapons were found all over the coutry in most cases the intelligence agencys were able to put a tight lid on it. At least three tines embedded reporters were there when munitions were found and were able to make reports of the finds during the invasion. in most cases the government had an idea where these sights were and when they were captured no reporters were around. all that was ever found at theses sites were the remains of the stock pile that somehow managed not to be in the convoy to Syria.. eventually months after the invasion Israel bombed the site containing the weapons from Iraq. years later Assad or terrists would get a hold of what survived the attack by Israel and use it on civilians.

also Iraq had a program to convince the world he had a Nuclear weapon and had been caught a year befor the invasion buying yellow cake a nucler ore that when processed correctly can create the fissionable material for a bomb.

This all need to be said when ever anyone claims there was no reason to go into Iraq or when people claim bush lied about the weapons

The VA is looking for the boots who got there and they need medical treatment.

Classified makes perfect sense when Bush or supporters said history will prove him right.
