But anyone who believes that Iraq didn't have these weapons and thia war was some kind of sinister plot by Bush & Blair, I have a bridge over a desert I want to sell you
One of my two best friends (they're twins) works for the United States State Department. He was assigned to Kuwait for the past five months and was there during the war. He e-mailed me in early May that he his boss (also in the State Department) told him that coalition forces found and captured Iraqi WMDs even before the fall of Baghdad on April 9, 2003. He said that the coalition would release this information and present the evidence at a proper time. When this time would be, his boss did not have any knowledge.
Also, my friend is a Bush-hater. College did that to him, so he's not a Bush-bot, but a Democrat supporter. Heck, he works for the United States State Department.
The reality is that if they're found this late, after all of the media questioning about their existance, there will be accusations of them being planted.
Maybe the powers-that-be should look at the sources of their information. Just to make sure none of it came from parties that had an axe to grind against the Iraqui government.
Iraq had the weapons, some were dumped into the Tigris (and who knows where else), some are hidden away in the desert somewhere, some were doubtless moved across the Iranian and Syrian borders. But they had them, they threatened to use them, and they planned to use them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of providing chem suits and atropine injectors.
