Yo470 10045300 regarding NF 10000117I disagree with what someone above claims Bush wrote in his memoir. Ney, it was his political staff, Rove and others, that decided to not push the issue. Of course Iraq had WMD, of course they used them against the Kurds, of course they disappeared (into Iran? into Syria, yes). Why do I say 'of course,' aside from the obvious point that Iraq used WMD on the Kurds, a known fact? Because we sold him the WMD to be used against Iran.
Why can't you respond to the actual points that I directed to you?
NF 10000117 regarding Yo 9977493, NY 9976959, Yo 9976945, NY 9976873, OR 9976677None of the above and myself were or are arguing that Saddam did not use WMD in the past. You have not been paying attention to the content of this thread.
It isn't hard to pay attention to this stuff. For those of us who were involved, it just requires the suspension of disbelief.

Bush is quoted directly from his memoir. Bush himself accepts the fact that the WMD used to justify the invasion were not found. He says it makes him sick every time he thinks about that. If it was Rove doing a political stunt then Bush would not admit that the failure to find WMD that were the reason to invade and occupy makes him sick. And the fact that Bush admits that the WMD were never found means that the rumors that they were moved just before the invasion are not true either.
And if every last trace of WMD were moved to Syria or Iran then it means that Bush did not have indubitable undoubted intelligence that WMD were inside Iraq as Bush said he had on March 17, 2003. To say he knew WMD was being hidden from inspectors has to mean he had intelligence that pinpointed where the WMD was located. He should have therefore halted the invasion of Iraq and invaded Syria if the WMD he thought existed were such a threat but in various stages of being moved out of the country.
That is a simpleton's view. What I stated previously is not incorrect.
Let's walk through this step by step.
Do you deny that Saddam Hussein had WMD?
