At the time of the invasion, I did not think there were any WMD in Iraq that were a threat to America. Neither did Hans Blix. You wrote: "I guess we can agree then that we all THOUGHT there were WMD in Iraq" Everyone of us knew, at the time of the invasion, that Iraq did not have Nuclear weapons (all of the Bush / Cheney claims had already been proven false). We THOUGHT Iraq might have mustard gas, but no means of delivering the gas (the drones had already been proven false, the claims of an al qaeda link were absurd from day one). This is one of the blunders of the Bush administration: they conflated nuclear weapons with mustard gas. Blix is referring to mustard gas, anthrax and some other biological / chemical weapons. I THOUGHT we would find some of these other weapons. I did not think that justified going to war ... there was no threat to America. And Bush was making another strategic blunder: pulling resources away from the real threat! This has been rehashed many times. Sorry to repeat my views, but I KNEW the Bush administration was screwing up when they invaded Iraq. Personally I think they knowingly misled America - that they lied.
