Well it's true he had them. We have every world leader (including Clinton) agreeing he had them, we have the proof that he used them and we even have satellite photos showing they were trucked out into Syria just before the UN resolutions were exhausted.
So yeah, they were there. But that was only one of dozens of reasons we had to take out Saddam. The training camps we found in Iraq proved we did the right thing.
As for the Niger Uranium, the "Chia guy" seems to have missed the news. The information was correct even though he took that line out of the speech. It was Joe Wilson who lied. Remember him? The guy who's wife wasn't covert and yet they prosecuted a man who had nothing to do with her case. Both Wilson and Valerie Plame should be put behind bars, but instead they get movie deals.
Everything is so backwards these days.

It was all about 'regime change.' You do realize if it really was WMD we're after we could have just dropped few GPS bombs on sites.
They found old junk yard of left over craps. It's like you go to France and you find old undetonated German bomb from WWII in year 2007 and saying German declared war on France in 2007.
This is not Cuba or other dictatorship country just in case you didn't notice. Why don't you go live in Cuba or China if you can't stand gov criticisms. There you get to see people get tortured for criticizing gov. You'll have a blast. People come to US because they're free express any opinion here and not to be enslaved by their gov.

WMD's ceased to be a viable excuse for the war in Iraq when George Bush cracked wise at event he attended, "thoses WMD's have to be around here somewhere," he gleefully retorted.
The Kurds were gassed in the 80's when Bush Sr. was in office. The gas used, was supplied by the US.
There is NO reason why the US should take action because British citizens were taken hostage.
I was born, raised and educated in the US. I have no interest in living in any of the countrys you mentioned.
One way ticket to somewhere else. Sure, and miss out on the chance to point out banal arguments like yours?

Wow - it must've felt pretty good to get all of that off your chest.
Saddam gassed the Kurds with mustard gas and tabun, a nerve agent. Prior to leaving in 1999, the UN inspection team had managed to destroy 30 chemical warheads, 40,000 chemical munitions and 690 tons of chemical agents.
In view of this and Saddam's proved willingness to use WMDs, it would have been foolhardy indeed for Bush and Blair to assume that Saddam had actually complied with the UN resolutions he so often rejected.
Any argument to the contrary is brought to you courtesy of the power of hindsight - which, unfortunately, wasn't available at the time the tough decisions had to be made.
Typical Monday morning quarterbacking from the left.

Well said Bluesharpman! To add to your arguement, there has been little attention by the liberal media (big surprise) to the book written by Georges Sada who was the #2 official in Saddam's Air Force. He details how the WMDs were transported to Syria aboard a converted passenger plane. Funny how the press missed this!

I would ask the weak minded liberal democrats who are weak on protecting freedom/country, weak on punishing criminals, weak on death penality THIS: How many people have to be murdered before you use the word "mass" destruction?? Sadam murdered many in Iraq by "mass" gasings, etc. For the liberal feminists: How do you use common sense in being against a war removing Sadam who set up Rape Rooms in his torture of women. Will it take another 911 here in U. S. to wake people up??

Hey, I'm not saying that they didn't/don't exist. I think if you give a guy a warning that you're coming to search his house for illegal substances and he doesn't want to flush them because he intends on using it later and doesn't want to wast the time and money getting more, he's going to give it to a friend to hold somewhere else.
We gave ample warning to Hussein that we were coming and why. He got rid of the evidence, shipping it to his buds in Syria and Iran to hold until later. He didn't expect to be captured and sentenced to death. It's no great leap here, just some common sense.

Saddam was buying all his weapons from the "good ol U.S.A".So the American government knew exactly what he was doing.Do some research before you post and answer your own mindless questions.

Then Secretary of State Powell on February 24, 2001:
"He (Saddam) has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors."

saddam gassed the kurds back during the reagan administration. you didnt care back then, now all of a sudden, almost 20 years later, it's a big deal.
saddam had an insurgent problem and he took care of it. what is the difference between us bombing them and saddam gassing them? it was their business, not ours.
edit
----------
wtf was saddam going to do to us? fly one of his crop dusters 8000 miles and spray NYC for several hours. then our whole country would collapse like a house of cards. its all BS, just an excuse to take him out.
for you referring to 9-11, havent you heard the news?, saddam had nothing to do with it.
