Actually we paid a pretty darn big price too ( a trillion or so dollars and 3500++ combat related deaths and we’re not done paying yet. No one can ever prove a negative, meaning you can’t prove you don’t possess something.
That's true. And that's why he should have made videos or movies of what he had being destroyed (or trucked to Syria, as his generals have said was done). Beyond that, we still wouldn't know if he destroyed or shipped them all. Just another reason why we should have assumed he still had them and/or the ability and the will to re-constitute them if he didn't. Another reason Saddam had to be taken out was because he tried to assassinate one of our ex-presidents. NO dictator should be allowed to assume he could get away with anything like that. Unfortunately, with Obambi in the White House now, I believe dictators around the globe have started assuming much worse.
