Excellent question. And for those flipping you **** about spelling, Koran is a perfectly acceptable substitute spelling for the Holy Quran. Irak is also the older spelling of Iraq. I don't really know why it was changed. Perhaps because the q bears a fainter resemblance to the flowery arabic script than does the k.
As for those weapons, I remember how much of a lather conservatives got into several years ago when someone unearthed an old dump of obsolete gulf war I weapons. They kind of shut up though, when I pointed out that no doubt Bush's blood lust would have been satiated had Saddam presented him with them, and our unprovoked war would have been called off. Right.
As for the weapons used against the Kurds--we sold Saddam those munitions. We provoked the Kurds into revolting against Saddam, promising we would aid their uprising. Then when Saddam responded to the rebellion, we stepped back, just as we did in the Bay of Pigs fiasco. We stood by and watched the Kurds get gassed. But who really cares about gassing Kurds? Winston Churchill gassed Kurds. No one likes Kurds. Conservatives don't complain about all the persians Saddam gassed. The reason is because they are sitting on fat trunks of dinars. We encouraged Saddam to attack Iran, and sold him the weapons to do it. Donald Rumsfeld actually brokered some of these arms deals.
Demonstrating our moral superiority, we also traded arms for the iranian hostages, thus equipping boths sides of the Iran/Irak war. So dead Kurds really are just a political foot ball, tossed into the playing field for the sake of bolstering fake arguments. If we truly cared about the Kurds to begin with, we wouldn't have provoked them into an unsupported rebellion.
As for the weapons being shipped to Syria, that's just more bovine scatology (BS). When North Korea tried to ship missiles to Syria, Spanish investigators interdicted them. But we're supposed to believe we allowed Saddam to send his weapons out of the country, while we simply watched?
Actually, that kind of gross incompetence is not completely unbelievable. We allowed Usama to escape the Torah Borah region of Afghanistan in 2003. A request for 300 army rangers to interecept him was denied. We also allowed Iraqi insurgents to steal several hundred tons of explosives they subsequently built IEDs from. And we failed to guard armories and munition depots captured early in the invasion, which fell into insurgent hands. Finally, we have billions of dollars in satchels and shrink wrapped pallets of cash unaccounted for. Much of this money has funded the efforts against us. We have even supplied weapons to the Sunnis and former Baathists. Gosh, one would think our goal was destabilization rather than "victory."
The war was fought with a high level of competence. But the occupation, a political affair, has been as badly mismanaged and bungled as anything else attempted by this administration. There was no Al Queda in Irak in 2001. Today there are thousands, and incidents of international terrorism are on the rise. Success! No doubt Medals of Freedom are due to all those responsible.

many times a weapon which will kill 1000's or perhaps 1000's. So issues like nuclear warheads and poisonous brokers like nerve gas, poison gases etc. those weapons could nicely be introduced via plane or missiles and don't could inevitably be a right away hit to reason deaths. in actuality a weapon designed to reason enormous deaths or harm with one launch and probable durable consequences. established bombs and such could reason 1000's of deaths however the component of impact is often extremely small the place as WMD many times could conceal a lots extra advantageous section. So a classic bomb could conceal various undred ft a WMD could conceal various miles (or perhaps an entire city).

Be careful.
I asked this same question and some republican reported it as a violation.
The funny thing is that this question has been asked over and over and as of yet there have been lies told but never the true answer.
The true answer is kind of disgraceful for bush lovers who will gnash their teeth, and give me multi-thumbs down, when they hear the truth that bush made up those lies about the weapons of mass destruction and foisted them off on the world so he could get America involved in a bloody, never-ending war, simply because there was a buck to be made.
Remember Yahoo reserves the right to protect republicans and censor the truth out of everything.

What WMD's? The whole WMD thing was a scam to get us into a war for the benefit of Israel.
Conranger AKA chickenhawk. I think the government should kick your door in just to make sure you don't have anything illegal. Better to be safe then sorry.

Ask all those buried in the mass graves.
Ask those that were employed in the chemical weapons factory or the mobile chemical weapons labs found abandoned. Ask the inspectors kicked out of the suspect locations on numerous occasions over the years.

Probably still in Africa. Remember, Bush had bad intelligence given to him.

Ask your government about the convoy of trucks going to Syria right before the war started. The cut and run liberal cowards won't tell you about that, now will they! You go and try to find them in a big sandbox!

Is not better to have searched Iraq and found nothing.
Or to have searched and found out the weapons were developed and now are in the hands of people who wish harm to the free world.?
Prevention is better than cure.
