U.S. intelligence indicates that Saddam Hussein had upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents. it was all false data in the first place.

By false you mean fabricated? What has established that? They sure had something when they killed tens of thousands of Kurds in the early 90's. So you must know that the Bush admin. knew that they got rid of it all, assuming they did that. Explain how you know that.

Uh, make that the 80s when the administration of the time turned its eye because Iraq was fighting Iran. Guess 'intelligence' missed that one too. Nice try on the spin though. And interesting how they can not know about 30,000 weapons but boy howdy the intelligence is down enough to pick out a mobile 'weapons' lab and show it in UN meetings. Interesting also that investigators found one of these 'labs' that looked exactly like what Powell said it would. The forethought, the almost extra sensory perception!! Yet they couldn't find 30,000 munitions (and by munitions he's not talking small arms) that would deliver these phantom WMDs.

For your argument to be even begin to be plausible it would mean the Iraqis took the time to completely scrub down a mobile 'weapons van to the point that no trace of WMDs was found on it, all the while hiding thousands of tons and liters of WMDs, as well as 30,000 munitions (which can't be stored in one room as some many of the WMDs were there explain away the actual WMDs). All the while preparing for war and out of sight of the satellites that had surveillance on these 'weapons' labs

You know I've got this beautiful ocean front property in Montana for sale and I've been looking for a buyer...

Nothing, but billbears can accuse Colin Powell, and by extension Bush, of lying because they aren't "real" conservatives, you see. "Real" conservatives, I'm guessing, are those who think draw the military should be drawn back to our borders where we can cower behind them.
