Emm where are the WMD..? =S..did we even FIND ANY..? Just asking..=S?

Answer 1

How can we find something which never existed in the first place?

Answer 2

The WMD that were searched for and not found were a selling point for the war in Iraq in late 2002 and early 2003. It must be remembered that UNSCOM director Hanz Blix was asked many times about the liklihood of Iraqi WMD, and his answers were long and equivocal.
In my opinion the Iraq War was not about WMD at all, but it was a rationale that would float politically. GW Bush, I believe, on Sept. 11, 2001 was scared to death (that's why he sat motionless for six minutes after he was told "the country is under attack." He felt the tense anxiety that is strong fear of assassination. He immediately recalled the experience of his father: Iraqi Intelligence helped to arrange an assassination attempt on his father in 1993. The concepts of "attack" on the nation, attack on his father as president, and on his own ultimate succeptibility to assassination were his real reasons for targetting Iraq. But you can't go to Congress and say, "I am really, really scared of being killed. I want to invade Iraq so I can feel safer." So the WMD issue was peddled. It must be remembered that even Hans Blix, who was more informed than anybody else on the planet probably on the subject, equivocated when asked about Iraqi WMD.

Answer 3

In Iraq, the only weapons that could have qualified are some older chemical rounds (most no longer functional) left over from the first Gulf War 15 years ago.

There are some unverified reports that Saddam shipped most such weapons (if any) to Syria and/or Iran (reports vary) before the US forces were able to stop him. This is a fairly well-respected theory by those who have done some research, but has yet to be conclusively proven.

Answer 4

The only chemical weapons they found were old and no longer useful. Pre-Gulf War I.
We are using the WMD over there.... Depleted Uranium.
It has killed my son's father, who was surrounded by it in the first Gulf War. The Gulf war that was actually fought to liberate a country - not occupy it.

Answer 5

No they were never found...despite what some may say they were never found, and the ones found a few months ago were over 20 years old and of no use any more they were too depleted, and besides that they had already been cataloged after the first gulf war, so there existance was already known.

Answer 6

As other posts have stated there was plenty of evidence that most of the wmd's got shipped out prewar there was also the head of sadams nuke program who had cunterfuges buried in his back yard and led us to them and now lives in the U.S. and has written a book called the bomb in my backyard sadam was just waiting for the u.n. to get outta his hair to restart his nuke program. we have satalite photos of the weapons factories that where torn down and 3-feet of siol removed to hide what was being made there leading up to the war

Answer 7

while we never found any nuclear weapons we did find millions of gallons of anthrax, a drug so toxic a teaspoon distributed properly could kill 1,000,000 people. if thats not considered a wmd i dont know what is. the media has given people the idea that wmd's are only nuclear weapons, this isnt true a wmd is just what the name says, a weapon that causes mass destruction. mustard gas is a weapon of mass destruction and he usd that aginst his own people.

Answer 8

They are in Syria or Iran. Oh yeah and they did find some chemical weapons in Iraq. That is not reported in the news.

Answer 9

WMD = Oil. Only if Iraq waste all its oil, guess what will happen.

Answer 10

if you keep whippin a dead horse he still won't get up and run - Saddam knew we were coming - debate and dissent held up our arrival - The Iraquis packed them up and trucked them to Syria in the weeks before we invaded - we have sattelite intel that they did it - they're still out there and about the time the peaceniks convince everyone that they never existed (with the help of our ignorant press) someone will use them against us.
