Highly dubious "evidence". Iraq had a nuclear program for power generation. They never had any facilities for upgrading yellowcake to weapons grade. The IAEA was let in by Saddam and was inspecting their facilities. It's very EASY to monitor any such activity.

The "radioactive" material was spent fuel from the defunct reactors (that were bombed by the Isreali's - highly irresponsible in potentially exposing the Iraqi people to a nuclear disaster). The containers were sealed by the IAEA and the seals were broken by the USA. The US Troops allowed looters into the facilities and much of that material disappeared into thin air.

There's again this myth of a "dirty bomb", which is all nonsense. There's no such possibility of developing any such device that would spread enough nuclear material to harm anyone.

Nice spin though. Try again.

LIAR. You Bushies are just evil liars. You even deny evidence provided by years of intense investigations. You're just in denial period, and so are your leaders. Which makes you dangerous and irreponsible in terms of representing any of us.

If inspectors had found any type of WMD at all, which they didn't, Bush-cheney would have been trumpeting it proudly for years now. Instead they found nothing. Inspector Kaye who worked for Bush, came back after a year of searching the country far and wide and reported he found absolutely nothing. Zero. I guess Limbaugh didn't tell you that huh? And UN inspectors under Blix reported pretty much the same thing before Bush kicked them out and invaded anyway based on a mountain of lies.

The old depleted mustard gas shells left over from the Iran-Iraq war do not count. They are useful only for trench warfare as mustard gas sinks directly to the ground and then underground. Mustard gas is useless as a terrorist weapon. The shells were also old and depleted. Your local inspect exterminator probably has more dangerous stuff than that. Which reminds me of Fox News's phony "we found the WMD" story in 2003, stuff that turned out to be insecticide like the kind Tom Delay used to sell.
