I keep hearing a lot that WMD were never found, but some Bush supporters say they were?

Question

or they know for sure they were moved elsewhere. Here is my question. I want someone to post undeniable conclusive evidence that we found the vast stockpile of WMD chemical weapons or reconstituted nuclear capability that Iraq was supposed to have so much of that it was considered and urgent threat to the USA as our cities were in imminent danger of having mushroom clouds over them....or that they were in fact moved to Iran or Syria, or Russia or whereever else you claim they were moved to. I simply want facts. I want a website, a link, a credible article, official announcement from Bush administration, photos, etc..
that the vast stockpiles were found and or undeniable proof that Iraq had them and moved them. I think this is a fair question, and it would be good to solve these debates with facts rather than fictional claims. Right now what seems to be fiction is that Iraq was such a massive threat to us that we had to act. Go ahead though, this is your chance to make your case.

Please enlighten us with facts so that we can support Bush in the war enthusiastically knowing that he was right and just.

Answer 1

you deserve a star just for the question. I am waiting with bated breath for the stream of "articles cited" which will include that credible- NOT News source Faux News. A company whose owner baldly stated that he tried to manipulate information and half truths to bolster the case for war. They will cite every article imaginable but not cite the follow up article bebunking the claim. Remember Aug 24, the huge stink about the UNMOVIC and the supposed WMD samples from Iraq that were "not properly secured" by the UN and the huge parade of vehicles, which was to show us how "safe" we were to feel now that our country showed up that the UN was lax. Only for it to come out with a whimper that the liquid was a non toxic solvent. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/09/05/2007-09-05_chemical_wmd_found_at_un_may_be_little_m.html

Oh yeah and how we knew where the stockpiles were in which building, yet somehow we did not see them moving these so called stockpiles, For a country that has satellite capability to see a gnat on a donkey's butt, somehow we missed it. Wow!!!
I will wait with you to see what happens. thanks for asking this question.

Answer 2

In any war there is massive propaganda from multiple sources, to support various theories, justify various actions, lull the people into being undefended against credible threats.

The vast majority of people appear incapable of accessing or assessing primary sources, evaluating probably credibility of witnesses.

At some point the issue of WMD in Iraq becomes an irrelevant question.

We are now at war in Iraq. We need to deal with that reality, not be mired in how we got into the mess.

The only reasons to rehash bad intelligence or politicization of intelligence is to do a better job in the future ... is Iran & Venezeula all talk, or will Venezeula be the launching point for a future attack on USA? I sure hope our intelligence is doing a better job on that than they did with Libya's Nukes or USSR's economy.

If we leave Iraq, the carnage will get much worse, and we will have a legacy like that of Germany being blamed for the Nazis. We can only leave in good conscience if our forces get replaced with another quality military force ... such as from India, China, Malaysia ... it is time for other nations to take responsibility for this mess, even though we had a big hand in creating it. Who helped Saddam get into power in first place, and stay in power?

If we leave, while alQuada is still a major force in the world, they will use "Victory over Americans in Iraq" to fuel a recruiting campaign for more attacks against American interests that will make the war in Iraq seem like a walk in the woods by comparison.

Answer 3

There are a lot of shill news organizations that have used two findings to claim that WMD were found:
1. Old inoperable weapons have been found rusting in the desert from the time of the first Gulf war - these are not WMD
2. Some trucks were found that were called "mobile weapons labs" but again, upon inspection, no evidence was found of weapons material.

They conveniently leave out the conclusion and only report that 'weapons were found!".

People who do not want the truth consider this to be sufficient evidence of WMD.
The claim that they were shipped out of the country is pure conjecture, no such movements of materials were observed.

Answer 4

The state of the U.S. is such that to question the story placed out by ability of the state brainwashing device is unAmerican. Bush is in potential because of the fact the brainwashing device is so helpful. actuality is people have self belief in Bush and what he's doing. it may be too lots to ask for somebody who has been brainwashed from start to have self belief that usa is the final large wish for freedom, to then realize the undesirable actuality. Even the antiBush brigade are victims of an analogous manipulation as maximum look to have self belief that issues have been rosy previous to Bush. the rustic has been the main sponsor of international terorrism considering WW2 anbd has controlled to gown it as much as look as though something else. the main marvelous occasion is that the U. S. government controlled to persuade its very own inhabitants that the rustic stands at coming near near danger from Cuba to the quantity that it staged assasination tries and unlawful invasion tries that compelled Cuba to hunt for secure practices from the U.S.. Cubas merely real crime became to set a foul occasion by ability of exhibiting South usa that it became achievable to change US imposed dictators with ordinary democracy. Regan is lionised interior the U.S. while in actuality he became the main murderous terrorist the international has ordinary considering Hitler.

Answer 5

He did in fact comply with UN resolutions, UNSCOM inspectors confirmed this but they were called traitors, for not supporting the war, based on untruth.

it appears from the right winger that FOX is putting out stories that they found weapons of mass destruction. but from Fox it's more weapons of mass Distraction, or deception

Answer 6

WE knew they had them, because the Reagan admin sold them to him.
most of them were either destroyed during desert storm, used on Iranians while the Reagan admin ignored their complaints, or destroyed as past of UN resolution prior to Bush jr. invasion.

The evidence they used to make claims about WMDs were the testimonies of defectors that were known for inaccurate information because they got a paycheck out of it, claiming that mobile labs (common in oil producing countries) were mobile biological weapon labs.

Answer 7

The most convicing argument for liberals should be the fact that Hillary said, in no uncertain terms, that there was ample evidence that Sadaam possessed WMD and that the use of them was imminent if something wasn't done to stop them. Are you saying that she was wrong??

Answer 8

Please Support your President

this is the democrat majority findings. I would say that we expected to see more but we did find some.
You will need Acrobat to view this as it is in PDF format

If you won't believe your own party, who will you believe. I am also smart enough to know that you would reject anything that was posted in a newspaper.

You liberals can give me a thumbs down after you have read the truth

EDIT: What only 4 Thumbs down, I thought that you guys could do better than that, come on, read the frigging document, the asker asked for undeniable proof, here it is.

So far I have only 6 thumbs down, as I figure it that is 6 liberals that have not read the truth including the ASKER

Answer 9

I can't believe people are posting FOXnews links. Even conservatives know a lot of what they say is unsubstantiated BS. I guess that's your answer. FOX said the weapons were there, and some people believe them.

Answer 10

The fact is the UN resolutions WORKED.

Saddam disarmed after the 91 gulf war.

He had no weapons, and ALL of the UN inspectors confirmed this.

Yet Bush invaded anyway.
