Playing hide and seek with the weapons inspectors from 91 to 98 must have just been a figment of my imagination.
Yeah, I don't buy it either. And just what WAS in all those convoys of trucks that went into Syria just before the war started?
'twas also a figment of your imagination that the UN said "fess up or suffer nasty consequences" shortly before Iraq didn't fess up and promptly suffered nasty consequences.
At the time of the invasion, nobody seriously thought that Saddam did NOT have WMDs - the bickering was over whether to continue negotiating or deem 12 years of negotiating "enough".
