Wasn’t there a well-evidenced theory about them being moved?

No theory. It was very briefly in the news and VERY QUICKLY shut down, scrubbed and deleted entirely. I heard it. The Israelis have said the same thing.

“Of course, US troops never managed to find any such weapons after the invasion.”

Keep repeating a lie enough times and idiots will believe it. They did find some but it was dismissed ads “pre-gulf war WMD” or “not militarily ready WMD”

From liberal factcheck.org:

“and discovered only a few random chemical weapons.”

So which is it? “never found any” or “only found a few”?

The Iraq War Resolution, which gave George Bush the authority for military force against Iraq had 23 paragraphs. Only 4 mentioned WMD, and that is all anyone talks about.

The other 19 were more than sufficient given that Iraq had signed and agreed to the terms of an armistice in 1991.

Another guy named Adolph Hitler was not held to the terms of an armistice (even when he was relatively weak when he violated those terms) signed by his nation and we can see where THAT got us.

I believe that we're talking about the same Media that is relentlessly covering for Obama on Benghazi, to make him look good.

What are the chances that they'd refuse to investigate, and even outright lie to make George Bush look bad?

Well, the leftists in the Democrat party won’t believe Israel...you remember how the loudly booed the Jews at their convention?

That FACT was omitted from most newscasts, as it casts a true and shining light on the Democrat party: anti-Semites and God haters.

Prosperous?

Well leftists are good at ignoring the facts..they won’t say where Assad’s weapons came from because then they would have to admit that Saddam DID have weapons of mass destruction, would destroy their whole narrative

I worked with eapons and even the fact that they really didn’t find a massive cache of weapons there is a difference in comparing weapons. Chemical weapons are not built like regular bombs and such their size is not in giant dumb bombs and missles but just that a little chemicals can go a long way. Remeber when Chohen and the 5 lb. bag of sugar he used when he was Clinton’s Sec. of state.

Why were advanced Mig aircraft found buried in the sand in Iraq? What else might have been buried or secreted somewhere?

Syria was known to have it’s own chemical weapons program for decades before we invaded Iraq. I’m not saying they didn’t also get some from Saddam, just that they already had them.

"There WERE WMDs in Iraq!"

I agree. And you know who ELSE agreed?

Bill Clinton

Hillary Clinton

John F. Kerry

And the multitudes of democrats who voted for the Iraq war.

You know, the ones who looked at the intelligence available to them.

"Saddam had WMDs on the day I left office."-Bill Clinton.

When the Left has to disparage the words of a leftist like Bill Clinton, you KNOW they are on thin ice.

Not only that, it was Democrat Senator Jay Rockefeller who was the first to call Iraq “an imminent threat”.

It is a classic case of the LIEberals telling a lie over and over again until it become accepted “Truth”.

The Bush Administration had, but did not release, information proving that Saddam had WMDs. I have no idea why.

Of course there were. What’d they gas the Kurds with? Nitrous oxide?...absolutely right - not only that, but it's now established that some 500 tons of "yellowcake" (low grade enriched uranium - precursor to nukes) was removed undercover from Iraq to Canada in 2004 - Saddam may not have had big stockpiles, but he had the experience, knowhow, and the makins of some nasty weapons.......
