I seem to recall European and other intelligence agencies expressing alarm about Saddam’s WMD capabilities, Saddam’s refusal to allow UN weapons inspections and Saddam bragging about the damage he would inflict with his WMDs if America should attack. Saddam gave every indication that he had WMDs or at least that his bluff.
Our troops did find chemical weapons and laboratories, though little was ever said about those discoveries. And I understand it was Russian trucks that hauled those chemical weapons to Syria.
W’s refusal to stand up for himself in the face of media assaults and lies did irreparable harm to the GOP and the office of the President. Allowing others their right to Freedom of Speech is fine, but the holding the moral high ground is a poor substitute for a badly damaged reputation.
Didn’t Iraq’s leader threaten W’s pappy. I heard some buzz about that in addition to invading Iraq. In truth, I never understood why we didn’t invade Saudi Arabia, all the terrorists were from there. Iraq was so random.
