Another myth propagated by the liberal MSM & liberal
politicians......

"There are no WMDs in Iraq (remember that is the original reason for us to invade that country?"

It seems you did not listen to Bush and all of his speeches
about Iraq. You are so focused on "stockpiles" of WMD's that
you have ignored everything else Bush said.

And the bottom line is that Bush was right to remove Saddam
based solely on the facts. The Iraq Survey Group report
provides ample evidence to support those facts.

Bush repeatedly mentioned that Saddam had failed to comply
with UN Resolutions for more than 12 years. All of the
resolutions included references to complete compliance with
UN Resolution #687.........

The Gulf War Cease Fire Agreement - AKA - UN Resolution #687,
was a ZERO TOLERANCE policy. That meant Saddam had to;

1) Completely eliminate every aspect of his WMD PROGRAMS (not
just "stockpiles"). This included provisions for the complete
destruction of all offensive weapons. This had to be done in
a completely verifiable manner to UN Inspectors.

2) Saddam had to completely eliminate every tie to terrorists
(internal & external).

3) Saddam had to completely halt his crimes against humanity.

4) Saddam had to make full reparations to Kuwait, ET AL.

Now this was the short & sweet version. There were absolutely
no provisions that allowed any deviation from each explicit
requirement. It meant 100%, unconditional compliance. Every
single UN Resolution, including Resolution 1441 was
irrevocably tied to #687.

Saddam spent more than 12 years in utter defiance of every
one of the above requirements before Bush's so-called "rush
to war". You know, where "Bush lied & misled" America
into a "unilateral", "illegal" war to take over their oil for
his Big Oil cronies?
