there actualy were WMD's found, just not anywhere near what was thought to be had by saddam. But all you hear is "NO WMD's!!!", which is not actually correct.
NOT the ones we were told were there.
We were told new ones.
NEVER would have congress approved a war costing 3000 lives for a few hundreds degraded mustard gas shells from 1985, US Made.
We were under the impression they were new WMD including nukes. It is a given that most mid east and 3rd world countries have these buynkers scattered, remnants of civil and internation conflicts. There are prob bunkers from 60s, 70s and 80s all over the world. We don't lose 3000 lives for this.
So yes, there were WMD. But yes, we were also lied to. What tips the scale? 2800 dead Americans from fighting this war for oil.
