i agree. why would the bush admin admit publicly that there were no WMD’s when they were finding them all over the place?
One thing they were not finding were recently manufactured WMDs, perhaps that is the reason. Frankly, they should have known that as some of the shell enclosures and precursers for the WMDs came from the WEST. So, since the basic elements had not been sent to IRAQ since about 91, why would they have expected to find currently made stockpiles? Makes no sense to me as to why this was a partial basis for this war. Why they did not want to point out they found old degraded WMDs anyway can be explained as political BS.
Since the time Bush I did not wish to take out Saddam while he had the machine to do it in place, this whole Iraq thing has been one giant fiasco. It is the perfect example of what happens when you loose the dogs of war. We last won a war when we left occupation forces on the ground in the loser country. We withdrew from Vietnam and Iraq and the result is going to be the same. The best our Nation had to offer was wasted over PC and BS.
And we're just pawns in their game.
