“Freepers are still using Saddam’s WMDs as an excuse.”

They need to tell Bush and Cheney. Both publicly say there were no WMDs.

Logic says the same thing. If Saddam had WMDs, why didn’t he use them against the invading troops, to save his own life? If he wasn’t going to use them to keep himself alive, either 1) he didn’t have them, as Bush and Cheney both admit; or 2) they were no threat to anyone, because if he wasn’t going to use them to keep himself and his family breathing, then when WOULD he use them?

Bottom line: The invasion was a fool’s errand, as Trump has said again and again.

I suspect there are a lot of Freepers who simply can't come to grips with the fact that they've been wrong about anything ... so they engage in this idiotic post-event rationalization to explain away any inconvenient facts that contradict their own narrative.

The most obvious question anyone should ask about alleged WMDs in Iraq: Why didn't Saddam Hussein use them to save his own ass?
