As I said, centrifuges and WMD were found in Iraq.

Centrifuges were most certainly NOT found in Iraq. They found a handfull of machined parts buried in a man's backyard.

They found a stale left over rusty shell, a few machined parts in a backyard hole and a jar of who knows what in a fridge. I remember the images of these "finds"....don't pull a bush on us....

"We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories,” Bush said in an interview conducted Thursday. “They’re illegal. They’re against the United Nations resolutions, and we’ve so far discovered two.”

“And we’ll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven’t found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they’re wrong, we found them."

You forget or overlook the complete details.
Sarin and mustard gas discovered separately in Iraq:


The shell in question was identified as an old shell, dating from the Iran-Iraq war and buried in a landfill of disposed explosives after the war. The poison was no longer effective in the first place, and the shell was a binary type, meaning the components of the poison required the rapid spinning produces by the rifiling of an artillary shot to mix the chemicals into a lethal mixture. If if the poison had not degraded it would not have been effective as a IED.

This really was the exception that proved the absense of chemical weapons.
