I've yet to read one book about the matter that suggested it wasn't a huge WMD program - one of the largest in the world. Are all the authors lying - since 1980 and to what end?
Do you honestly believe Saddam wouldn't sell WMD to AQ? They want them, he had them. Sold? Who knows - let's hope not.
Peach, do you honestly believe that AQ would have to buy WMD's from Iraq? If AQ wanted them they could just as easily (maybe more easily) make them themselves and avoid the risk of detection. And there are a number of sources for them on the international weapons black market (Russia comes to mind, maybe China too). They're not exactly that exotic. H*ll, you or I could make them if we had a mind to do so.
What we were sold is a bill of goods that Iraq had massive quantities deployable WMD's and were going to use them against us. Obviously not the case. It's no shame to fall for a lie. It is a tragedy to defend that lie after it becomes apparent you were lied to. I doubt that Bush lied to us deliberately. He probably fell for lies that were told to him for reasons known only to the teller. Let's see how he handles it. It ends up as an ego and pride situation for all of us (ego gets me in a position, pride keeps me there) and is a test of true charachter.
