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. 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?
