Um, Jillian - do you realize that you are embarassing yourself with how misinformed you are right now? Please allow me to enlighten you for just a moment about WMD's in Iraq:
1.) Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against the Kurds in the north during the 1980's. So to claim he never had WMD's is simply crazy beyond words.
2.) A quick excerpt from the book "Seal Target: Geronimo" by Chuck Pfarrer: "It is a chilling fact that thousands of chemical weapons have been uncovered in Iraq. *These weapons have been used by Al Qaeda against coalition and NATO forces on dozens of occasions. *This has been confirmed by countless sources, most recently in the released WikiLeaks cables.
So why haven't the American people been told of the stock-piled caches of chemical WMD's uncovered in Iraq or of the chemical weapon attacks by Al Qaeda?
The Republicans won’t touch this because it would reveal the incompetence of the Bush administration in failing to neutralize the danger of Iraqi WMD (instead of preventing Weapons of Mass Destruction from falling into the hands of terrorists, the 2003 invasion of Iraq has accelerated the acquisition, manufacture, and use of chemical weapons by Al Qaeda). The Democrats won’t touch it because it would show President Bush was right to invade Iraq in the first place. It is an axis of embarrassment. *And the*press won't touch it because they had already convinced themselves, and most of the American public, that Saddam Hussein didn’t have any WMD's. *The media turned a blind eye to continued reports of chemical weapon attacks because its own credibility was threatened. Several major outlets were deeply invested with the story line of an “unjustifiable war". *Not many people can bear to admit they were wrong, especially in print, and especially if they have been very wrong for a very long time."
3.) A quick Google search of "Iraq WMD's" will reveal endless major media outlets acknowledging story after story of WMD's in Iraq. Here are just a couple, including extremely liberal biased news outlet NY Post and the radical left-wing propaganda machine, MSNBC:

See Jillian, you're not even slightly informed. You don't WANT to be informed. You just want to blindly pledge allegiance to the radical Commuinist left. And that's your choice. But when you comment on things you know nothing about, you lose credibility (not to mention respect) and nobody takes you seriously. Why don't you actually turn off the propagana from the left and actually learn the TRUTH? Is it that you're too afraid you'll realize you are rooting for the wrong team?
