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...
Huh? Okay: They sure had something when they killed tens of thousands of Kurds in the early 90's. late 80's.
There, is that better? They also used lots of chemical weapons on the Iranians. I have no idea what the hell the rest of your post had to do with my point. Are you saying they never had chemical weapons? Or are you saying they had them and got rid of them and the Bush admin knew it?
