Well, the WMDs have everything to do with the fact that EVERY country in the world said (regardless of what Chalabi did or said) that Saddam had WMDs. EVERY ONE. It is significant that even the French and the Germans and the Russians, who did NOT want the war, NEVER ONCE produced any evidence that Saddam did not have WMDs. Translation: even they knew he had them at one point prior after 1998 and prior to 2002.
So bsically you are disinterested in the treason question, hence my tagline.
