I do recall Colin Powell in from the U.N. making the case we knew exactly where the WMDs were located.
Then years later W. said there were no WMDs.

Exactly. Trump isn’t saying anything Dubya didn’t already say.
I still remember a documentary on the history channel that showed truck after truck traveling out of Iraq to Syria under cover of night. Night vision cameras were used.. I later look for that film and it had been pulled. Maybe, just maybe, they did exist. Film also showed the underground tunnel systems and I do wonder what happened to the footage.
“Then years later W. said there were no WMDs.”
Context, context, context. Yes, after “WMDs weren’t found,” Bush went with the flow and went with the new consensus. Politicians do that.
Saddam had WMDS and used then in his war with Iran, and with Shia and Kurds in his own nation. No one disputes this.
We had several reasons for going to war with Iraq. These are documented in law, under Presidents Clinton and Bush. The press made it all about “stocks of WMDs.”
Colin Powell showed photographs of mobile fermenting labs. Later, the DIA and CIA disagreed as to their purpose. Only one side was reported, so one “fact” was “flipped.” There were several reports on WMDs being moved out of the country, but these were not advanced by the main stream media.
This is a text-book case of turning the truth on its head. I realize that politicians might feel they would be tilting at windmills trying to set the record straight. But there is no good reason to lend support to falsehoods.
I don’t remember that, I remember him discussing known WMD Sites, That’s a little different from saying know know where the WMDs are.
In case you don’t remember, these WMD Sites were found.
