Crymomma

Blackhorse 70V is right, there never were any WMDs, it was all a work of fiction, as the UN Inspectors said.

In the UK, when both our countries were hell bent on war with Iraq, a decent politician and, at the time, cabinet minister asked the simple question: If Saddam has WMDs then where are the factories and infrastructure to make them?

The US had spy satellites over Iraq and all they could find was a tin shed, which the US told the UN was a factory producing WMDs. The US had eyes on the ground (i.e. spies) and they could not find anything credible.

In other words, Saddam had nothing but bluster and hot air, and nothing more.

Both US and UK Intelligence knew this but our main politicians (both Bush and Blair) decided to lie to us by saying Saddam was behind 9/11 and that he won't give up his WMDs. Blair said Saddam could attack British interests within 45 minutes, this was another work of fiction dressed up to look as if it came from the Intelligence community.

I understand that before Bush became president for the second time there was a plan in place to attack Iraq but they, Bush & Rumsfeld, could not sell it to the American people, that is until 9/11.

So Crymomma, before you repeat the Bush propaganda check first that it is true because the first casualty of any war is the truth.
