If the UN doesn't even know they have chemical weapons stored in the basement, how can you attack Bush as a liar?

I guess because Bush knew he was promoting phony intelligence - he outed Plame, a CIA agent collecting loose nukes, because her husband told on the bad intelligence.
And don't forget the Downing Street Memo which said the intelligence was being fixed to support the invasion of Iraq.
And most important of all, don't forget Bush doing a comedy skit wherein he looked under his desk and behind a couch, while our boys were killing and being killed over those wmds, saying, "No WMDS here, none here. There gonna turn up somewhere."
Lastly- what on earth does the chemical found at the UN building have to do with us invading a sovereign nation, torturing innocent people to death, and allowing bush and his cronies to steal billions from us?

These chemicals were "removed from Iraq a decade ago" -- and we know Iraq had chemical weapons over a decade ago -- many of them were weapons we sold to Iraq in the 1980s, that Iraq used in the 1990s.
This has nothing to do with Iraq having nuclear weapons materials, or any of the complex chemical arsenal that was the justification for the 2002 invasion.

The only way for Bush to be exonerated is by revealing all the intel about Iraq prior to the invasion........not just the cherry picked stuff presented to the UN.Mostly I am interested in hearing the intel Jordan may have shared with us.Keep in mind that Saddams son-in-law defected to Jordan before being enticed(by his wife) to return to Iraq.Where he was met and executed at the border.BTW he was in charge of WMDs for Saddam before he defected to Jordan.

Not even close. It was a 10 year old container of a chemical agent that is essentially 1915 technology.

At this point in time, there is nothing on the face of the earth or in the heavens that can exonerate our Dear President.

It was 2 small vials stored there from many years ago . . . has absolutely nothing to do with whether Iraq had any remaining weapons when Bush invaded . . . which of course we now know it didn't.

Those "weapons" were evidence that was introduced BEFORE little Georgie even took office and have nothing to do with PNAC's war.
Better luck next time.

The U.S. gave Iraq those weapons during the Iran/Iraq war.
