<<<Show me one weapon that The Iraqis turned over voluntarily. Just one.>>>

They declared and turned over containers of mustard gas, declared and destroyed over 70 missiles, discovered undeclared chemical warheads left over from the early 80s and turned them over. They also dug up sites where biological and chemical weapons had previously been destroyed and provided documentation on the VX disposal which the UN inspectors accepted as valid, and were about to provide documentation on biological weapons destruction right before the US kicked out the inspectors.

4 months ago Bush made a big deal out of forcing inspectors back into Iraq. He was furious when Iraq agreed. Every step Iraq took to cooperate resulted in escalated demands of what constituted cooperation. If Iraq agreed to one demand, Bush called them liars and told them they had to do something else. Bush claimed to have solid evidence of WMDs, but when presented to the UN, it turned out the so called evidence was bogus. After 3 1/2 months and over 500 inspections, no undeclared weapons were found. After pounding Iraq for 4 days with WMDs, not only have no other weapons been found, Iraq has not used any in self defense. No scuds. No VX. No sarin. No anthrax. No mustard. No anything.

If you're trying to make a case that this has something to do with WMDs, somewhere along the line you're going to have to come up with something other than accusations and falsified documents. A little proof perhaps?
