No mushroom cloud, of course, but enough to kill many and highly transportable because of the low LD50.If Saddam had them, why did he not deploy them?
I have little doubt he wanted them but the cost was prohibitive, especially since Bush I and Clinton owned the sky's with war planes and spy satellites.
Of course Jr. and the Neo-Cons manufactured 'evidence' for the case of invasion before the United Naitons with piss-poor photos and lies from a respected former General. It matters not if WMD's existed or not, the Neo-Cons hoped to invade Iraq as early as 1997. Simply google PNAC and read the statement of principles - pay close attention to who signed the document.
So we find chemical weapons, but since he didn't use them, on us, it's OK.
There's a long list of countries that said saddam had them. Countries that had nothing to gain.
But New Conservatives (former liberals) had the magic power to convince them before the US had been convinced.
They were 20+ year old remnants......hardly the "mushroom cloud" Bush warned us about
Even Bush was too embarassed to bring them up as evidence. He scoured the country for weapons, paperwork or witnesses saying there was something there.....he got nothing
