Did US find weapon of mass destruction in Iraq? I believe that was the reason behind this horrible invasion?

Answer 1

The reason the US pleaded to the UN was there was some circumstancial evidence of possible WMDs, but also more importantly the violation of resolution 14.41 that was signed at the end of the first Iraq war. The war technically never ended, only a cease fire was agreed too. This was the same resolution that Clinton used to justify the bombing runs that he made during his administration. Part of the US place to invade was that the air strikes did not stop the violations, and Sadaam had to be removed from power. He was asked, he refused, the invasion began.
There also was a humanitarian case made as well, but as usual the UN only reacts when white people are dying, they really do not care about africans, asians, arabs, and indians.
Plus when Iraq gave their weapon report to the UN, it was uncomplete and had blantant lies in it. Weapons were found that CLEARY violated the 14.41 resolution, they just were not nukes or chemical weapons. They were more of missles that could travel beyond the cieling amount on the treaty, and munitions that were designed to hold chemical weapons (but none of the chemicals were ever found). Add in repeated violations of the NO FLY ZONE. Then, MOST IMPORTANTLY, part of that treaty was to keep the UN inspecters in the country at all times. Iraq kicked them out. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?!? It took months to get them back in the country which could have given Iraq enough time to dispose/hide them if they did exist.
Unfortunately the Executive branch of our government decided to push the WMD part on the American public that only circumstancial evidence wa availible, instead of actually showing what verifyable things Iraq was doing.

Answer 2

Our media and ever transferring Lib politicians have worked evening and day to discredit GWB and the GOP for Iraq. seems it has worked a lengthy way too properly. As, have you ever talked about, no longer one information service and by no potential one flesh presser spends one 2d on only one question? because they know the answer and know that is going to crash the line about GWB and the GOP's "conflict lust." the position precisely did Assad of Syria get all those juicy WMD's they decry him for now?? now to not indicate why is Obama so hesitant to bypass in? at the same time as Hillary, Reid, Kerry and something were SO wanting to initially enter Iraq? Ever have the feeling the Libs have some affection for the Baath celebration and that is leaders (Hussein/Assad)?? ask your self why? Mrs. Assad replaced into SO feted many years back. As a "cutting-edge/variety" Arabian woman. i imagine the Left began decrying Iraq conflict 2 at the same time as it became sparkling GWB might want to topple Hussein. no longer merely search for renounce.

Answer 3

The Republican congress said 500 WMD shells were found and this was mentioned on C-Span. The Democrats said those were too old (certain chemicals and biological agents have a life span) to use as viable weapons. Even the Iraqi generals thought Sadam has biological weapons.

Answer 4

There have been several weapons of mass destruction found..cerin nerve gas 155 howitzer rounds have been found that were set up as IED's unless that's not good enough. I mean it could only kill 5000 people or so IF used correctly But to get that kind of news you have got to stop watching ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. THEY ARE BIASED Man, you send kids to school buy them books try to teach them right from wrong and they still end up dumb A S S E S

Answer 5

What do you think Saddam used to kill thousands of Kurds? It was a chemical agent. WMD include Nuclear, Biological & Chemical weapons. Anyone who has served in the military knows this.

Answer 6

Yes they did. They found biological and chemical weapons. Not just by the way where's all that free oil you liberals keep saying we were supposed to get? Are you telling porkies? I'm suing you for false advertising.

Answer 7

That was the reason but no weapons of mass destruction have ever been found.

Answer 8

Yes we did Skippy.....not all of them but we found some and lot's of evidence of more....You realize whole civilization have been hidden in the desert for thousands of years....WMDs could hide for a long time in the sand, Syria or Iran...

We will keep looking while you sit around and hide from it

Answer 9

No, Bush went off of phony intellgence about how they were developing (not have, but developing) WMDs. So, the invasion of Iraq was completely unwarrented

Answer 10

There was some evidence of past possession of said weapons. Of course we know that saddam had them sense he used them on the Iranians and his own people. The question should be what did saddam do with them or where are they
