That was not the question, you guys sure like to SPIN it your way. The statement you made "There were no weapons of mass destruction. Bush said there were." was a LIE! Plain and simple. It has NO CONSEQUENCE if the world knew about the 550 metric tons of yellow Cake, Yellow Cake is a WMD, the SOURCE Material needed to make a nuclear bomb. As it was UNGUARDED by the U.N. inspectors from 2 days BEFORE the war started and all U.N. personnel were pulled out of Iraq, it was sitting there, pilfered by towns people for over 100 days that the war lasted, and was finally guarded again by coalition forces once they had control of Iraq!
Okay, um, guy, here's the problem. In the state it was in, it had no weapons' potential. It needed to be processed, someting that takes both equipment and time, and Saddam had neither.

Your SNOPES tale is also MISLEADING as they answer the question "The removal of yellow cake uranium from Iraq in 2008 proved that Saddam Hussein had been trying to start Iraq's nuclear program" PROVES that yellow cake WAS IN IRAQ!!! We haven't stated, nor can anyone tell what Saddam was planning to do with it! He's DEAD and unable to tell us what his plans were for it. If you can CHANNEL Saddam, from wherever he is, please do, and get his statement notarized for proof!
It doesn't matter what he was "planning" to do, it matters what he COULD do. And lacking centrifuges or the other advanced equipment needed to process it, he realy couldn't do anything about it, which is why the UN didn't remove this material in 1991 when they destroyed all of his other WMD capabilities.

Of course all his WMD existed, you idiots simply want to believe your own BULLSHIT, instead of taking into consideration That General Sada, The man who served as the no. 2 official in Saddam Hussein's air force says Iraq moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria before the war by loading the weapons into civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats were removed. He even gives a fairly accurate description where they went, and coincides with the location of Syria's nuclear plant, that at the time, was being built by China for the Syrian government, and just happened to be the sight that Israel blew up in July 2007! The ODD thing about this is that in 1981 Israel blew up Saddam's nuclear plant and was laid waste by the Arab states, Europe, and had resolutions against it by the U.N. After the 2007 attack, there was NO CRY from the Arabs, or Europe, or resolutions brought against it. My opinion was that a true investigation would have shown EXACTLY what was there!
Or that people have j ust figured trying to reason with the Zionists is a waste of time.

BTW, your SNOPES sight blame Robert Novak for outing Valerie Plame a SUPPOSED CIA operative. It's now known that good old Valerie was not a CIA OPERATIVE, in the classic definition of a SPY, but was an ANALYST for the CIA and it was Robert Armitage, a close associate of Secretary of State Colin Powell, who was regarded, along with Powell ,as a moderate within the Bush presidential administration, and who would later be regarded by most Republicans as a BACK STABBER of that administration. as the SOURCE of that leak
At 1:25 Armitage states that she was not an operative, Novak apparently didn't recognize that Plame was just another analyst with a powerful husband!
Powell and Armitage were smart enough to realize that going to war with Saddam was a really stupid idea. PRobably because they had actually served in the military, as opposed to getting bullshit placements inthe National Guard or Student Deferrments like the NeoCon Chickenhawks did.
Oh, for the record- 5000 dead AMericans, 32,000 wounded Americans and a trillion dollars pissed away- It was a really horrible idea.
But hey, Lois Lerner Questioned by Karl Rove needed an exemption reserved for Charities for his political group!
There is no problem with the state the yellow cake was in. And there was NO TIME LIMIT placed on the POTENTIAL of what that 550 Metric tons could have done. Isn't that why the war started when it did, to prevent any further development, real or potential, that Saddam had to develop them? Of course it was. He THREATEN to do just that. NO ONE can deny that 550 TONS of yellowcake was in Iraq when the war started, and was UNGUARDED!
He could have just as easily gotten centrifuges from such countries as N. Korea, or China, even Russia if he had been pressed. After all, with Russia, he had paid them BILLIONS of dollars through the corrupt OIL FOR FOOD program, and Russia, certainly doesn't give a shit about what the world thinks, proof is currently Crimea! He could have gotten them also from Germany through the back door to any of a number of Arab countries that were sympathetic to Saddam, in parts, and have them assembled in Iraq. We know that he had ONE buried, and the supposition is he was using that to develop and manufacture the parts himself.
So it appears you're anti-Israel, our only ally in the ME! Israel has every right to PROTECT itself, and as we have seen, even currently with over 7000 rockets being fired into Israel each year, there patients, and refrain is beyond anything we have here. What would WE DO if Cuba launched a missile into Florida? You sir, are beyond naïve!
Face it, George Bush I, the MODERATE RINO, and the U.N. were the original **** UPS during Gulf War I. They allowed Saddam to stay, instead of putting in a military government needed, at that time, to control the country. They did it simply because it would be HARD WORK doing such. If they had kept Saddam's army, replaced all top officers, with men that were PAID WELL, indoctrinated in a "FAIR BUT STERN" method of controlling the citizenry, and because they were paid very well, the corruption would have been cut down drastically, would have been the way to go. BUT we will never know if that would have worked, as it was never tried for the 12 years between Gulf War I and II!
GW II was prosecuted poorly. Here Colon Bowell is to blame. Instead of using air and rocket power much more selectively, and effectively, he relied on ground troops too much. Saddam's Army virtually GAVE UP, except the Republican guard. ALL of Saddam's army could have been converted into a huge police force to keep Iraq in order, if they had converted them into a cohesive force, by feeding, clothing, and PAYING them a decent salary, to continue their military experience. If you'd like to talk about that, I'd be happy to expand.
Now it WAS a waste of fine American's that were restricted by ROI's that favored the enemy. You have a shooter behind a group of citizens killing our men, you simply TAKE THAT GROUP OUT! It's war, and civilian casualties are expected. But once the enemy sees that you won't fire on him in that situation, they will exploit it to the fullest.
Lois Lerner is a LINK into the corruption of the B. Insane regime. Lock her ass up!
