Why weren't WMDs found in Iraq?

Question

When all good Intelligence Agencies worldwide were convinced that Saddam had them? In fact, he used them on many occasions.

Is it possible that WMDs were found, but they all had labels saying:
MADE IN THE USA?

The above link is the best information I've found about the situation in Iraq before the war.

I never realized it, but Hussien practically BEGGED the U.S. to inspect for W.M.D.'s. Bush refused.

There's another cool info site. Not nearly as informative, but lot's of ammo to use against the Bush supporters. E-mail me if you like those, I've got a few more good ones, too....

Answer 2

Don't you know about the line of semis leading from Baghdad to the Syrian border for weeks before we attacked? Of course they must have been full of the household goods of scared Iraqis heading for safety. Saddam had all the warning and time he needed to stash the stuff. Some chemicals have been found and plenty of unauthorized non WMD weapons have been found. Besides that an unbelievable amount of conventional weapons have been unearthed and destroyed since we entered Iraq. I would quote an amount but I would probably be wrong. It is a staggering amount though. The mainstream press reports very little of this stuff because it is contrary to their hate Bush/America agenda. For what it's worth most of the weapons recovered had Made in USSR labels on them although there was quite a bit from here too. All of the unauthorized stuff was from countries other than us. Most of the chemicals were from Germany. China was another supplier of weapons as was France. Isn't it interesting that these are the countries that wanted to keep up the oil for food charade? Don't forget that this war is also a propaganda war and we aren't doing as well there as we are on the ground. I don't think the Intelligence agencies were wrong. Saddam just managed to get them out of the country.

Answer 3

The fact that it is impossible to answer this question, and the fact that the question is not truly a question, but an attempt to prove a point shows a very good example of what is wrong with this gullible country. We are headed to a new dark age spearheaded, not by the church this time, but by the military-industrial complex and full consent of the medicated citizens.

We did not go to Irak to find WMD's, therefore, we did not find them. The main talk back then was nuclear devices. We had Irak under siege for long years, with no fly zones and close monitoring. We went to Irak to secure the future of our "style of life". We went to Irak to secure American hegemony in the "New America Century". Find that document and read it. There you will find the stated intention of the so-called neo-conservatives. You will see they wished for another Pearl Harbor in order to secure the changes that would facilitate the securing of American power. If the leaders of this country were not so pathetic, it might have worked too.

In their "Project for a New America Century" the neo-cons even talk about fighting two wars simultaneously in the Middle East. Please wake up, America and see what your pseudo-elected leaders are doing with the powers they have seized from you and that you so sheepishly have surrundered.

Now the focus will be the new cold war with China. It will be very lucrative for all security firms, and our own mercenary troops. You will also see the rebirth of Russia. A country so vast and rich on resources can't stay down for too long. Look at them as they go back to their old ways. I see more money coming to Halliburton, Blackwater and the Binladin oil group. Those are the real powers behind the throne, no matter who wins the next election. Power to the Money!

Answer 4

because they sold what ever was left off to other people and countries for eccentials usually, but then there are always those few who have agendas and chose to do the wrong things. I imagine there were some weaponry kept and hidden there in Iraq. But it wasn't a good expression sensationally for the world outlook. I simply would'nt have made a declaration like the president did, i would have just gone in an gotten them with alittle intelect in play and it would've been taken care of, however when we went in the first time, it was with in the plans to stike again, however the best thing to do now is check points, policing occuipation and food and medical aide coupled with schooling/propaganda, etc. Also I would work to give them healthy focuses, prayer is a very good and healthy focus, or if your not religous there are other things which are good and healthy directives. I think teaching people how to use guns is not a good idea. It teaches them to be aggressive, which was the problem in the first place.

Answer 5

It became unquestionably the genuine WMDs that Saddam became speaking approximately it. Saddam unquestionably lied to international approximately having genuine WMDs yet information exhibits that when the 2003 Iraq invasion. yet information exhibits that Saddam became approximately to construct it and attempt to start a nuclear conflict with Iran. however the mainstream media refuse to report it as they do no longer experience it is not smart. The Iraq conflict is absolutely everyone opinion: whether we could constantly have been there or no longer.

Answer 6

Actually they were and the labels said made in the USSR and France. We found several hundred rocket and mortar rounds filled with mustard gas and the terrorists tried to use a shell filled with nerve agent as a road side bomb.

Answer 7

The ad hominem attacks you have received thus far should not be surprising given the inability of many people to debate this important question. I was living overseas when the war started, and the basic assumption there and the rest of the world was that the US had pretty much fabricated this story as means to go in and invade.

You don't have to be a "lib" to be upset and vocal with the course this administration has taken in terms of its foreign policy.

Answer 8

Nobody knows why. It must be that saddam's people were lying to him and that our intelligence was based on those lies. There is a chance that the weapons were taken out of the country either before or during the invasion. It is very possible considering Turkey didn't allow us to have a northern front.

But anyone that says he never had them are either dumb or liars because he used them.

Answer 9

500 WMD's were found, they were older weapons mostly degraded mustard gas or serin nerve agent, as described in the Democrat WMD findings (see link below)

http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/Iraq_WMD_Declassified.pdf

We know that he did have WMD's as you said, he used them on his own people, and many of them probably did say MADE IN THE USA, painted on by Germans and the French though the the weapons fired at us in Afghanistan were made in the USA.

Edit: Note to bushonlysubmale: If that is the case, why did Bill Clinton bomb Iraq over a 4 day period in December 1998 to impeded Saddam;s WMD's

Edit: Note to Bruce J.
Your first link seems to have some good info, the writer says no lies no twists, but he did leave out information (see link above). I'll take time to read it entirely, thanks

Answer 10

Iraq's WMDs were verified destroyed per the cease fire agreement that ended the Gulf War. Everyone knows that!
Iraq never reconstituted any WMD programs. End of story.
