Please do keep up. They were destroyed in 1991:
"Following a particularly invasive IAEA inspection in late June 1991, Saddam ordered Dr. Mahmud Filal, former deputy of the Chemical Weapons program, to destroy all hidden chemical weapons and biological materials....Available evidence indicates Iraq destroyed its hidden chemical weapons and pre-cursors, but key documentation and duel use equipment were retained and were later discovered by inspectors."
from: IRAQ WMD Report - by Bush's Chief WMD Inspector Charles Duelfer
That was in 1991. What does that have to do with Bush's claims that iraq had WMD and an active WMD program in 2003?
They used WMD on the iranians with the approval of the reagan adminstration, who helped them with targeting the iranians. Iraq was our ally, and our strategic goal was to make sure iran didn't win, at any cost. So, its patently ridiculous to point to the gassing of the iranians to support your war two decades later.
As for the kurds, that was horrible and tragic. But again, that was the 1980s, and it had nothing to do with american national security, let alone as a justification to invade iraq two decades after the fact.
Your arguments are completely irrelevant. The fact is Saddam produced, posessed and used WMDs, period.
Please produce factual evidence that Saddam gassing Iranians was with the approval of the Reagan administration. Good luck, because it wasn't. Just more smoke.
The fact is, you're trying to run a bluff with Monday morning quarterbacking and it's been called.
