Even the NYT’s admitted they had wmd’s
The Bush claim about Iraq was specifically nuclear. They could not have been more clear. It was a lie.
“Even the NYTs admitted they had wmds”
And what did the NY Times writers claim that these WMDs were?
For a year Dubya had the 1,000 man Iraq Survey Group inspect Iraq for evidence of WMDs. The only ones that they found were chemical artillery shells manufactured prior to Gulf War I.
The laboratories for nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons were all dilapidated and showed no evidence of having been used for years.
This is all in the Duelfer Report, the final report of the Iraq Survey Group commissioned by Dubya. Dubya has publicly accepted it as accurate. It’s been available online for years. No one reads it.
