HAD being the key word. They no longer had them when we invaded, because we bombed the shit out of them in Desert Storm and they did not have the resources to rebuild such programs after that. Show me the link that provides proof that they had such programs in place at the time we invaded, and that we found such weapons. Wouldn't Bush have shown that to the world to say "here, see I was right" instead of changing his excuse to "regime change"?1. Iraq had a highly-developed chemical warfare program with: numerous large production facilities; binary (precursor chemical/solvent) capabilities, stockpiled agents and weapons; multiple and varied delivery systems; and, a documented history of chemical warfare agent use.
2. Iraq had an offensive biological weapons program with: multiple research/production facilities; evidence of weaponization experimentation; and, a history of reported but unconfirmed use.
They had no such WMDs, smoking gun, or anything even close. It was a fabrication by an Iraqi defector, and our government bought it hook, line, and sinker. The only people who would still agree with you are those that are still ignorant to the facts and believe anything the government tells them without question. Our country has paid dearly for this mistake in both expense and lives.
