“It was not worth invading for that amount of terrorist training”
Perhaps not.
There is a fakenews narrative that Saddam had no WMD, and practically everyone seems to be buying into it. However, Saddam was playing games with UN nuclear inspectors, and had already used gas on the Kurds. Suitcase nukes were loose in the wild. Bush was advised by our intelligence agencies and by the Brits that Saddam had WMDs.
Bush says that it was when somebody asked him if Saddam would give WMDs to terrorists if he had them that he, Bush, realized that Saddam had to go.
Bush needed to fight back against the fake news, but he didn’t. I don’t know why.
“There is a fakenews narrative that Saddam had no WMD, and practically everyone seems to be buying into it. “
Maybe because that was the conclusion of Bush’s own Iraq Survey Group- the 1,400 member team that spent over a year scouring Iraq for evidence of WMDs, from 2003-2005. They reported directly to Rumsfeld. The report, which no one ever bothers to read, is available at several sites on the web. The only WMDs they found were old poison gas artillery rounds that had been manufactured before the first Gulf War.
