The dueler report which ‘concluded’ that there ‘were no wmds’ was wholly unaware of the fact that there were later found 500 warheads with sarin gas at 25% concentration levels- Woopsie- such a definitive determination when all the actual facts weren’t known- some as high as 40%- these were not ‘old ineffective wmds’
“The most interesting discovery has been a 152mm binary Sarin artillery projectile—containing a 40 percent concentration of Sarin—which insurgents attempted to use as an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). The existence of this binary weapon not only raises questions about the number of viable chemical weapons remaining in Iraq and raises the possibility that a larger number of binary, long-lasting chemical weapons still exist.”

The more warheads that were found, the louder the cry of ‘old-useless’ from the left became- they just could not admit that they were wrong about there being ‘no wmds’ so they had to keep trying to diminish how recent or effective the warheads were- but htere became so many of them, and the concentrations were so high- that their lie became obvious to all those who knew these weapons existed- the problem is that the msm buried these reports until the NYT finally came out with their report, refuting the claim that the wmd’s found were ‘not important’-
Everyone knows that Saddam had all the time in the world to move and hide wmds=- even moving some out of country- the left knew it- everyone knew it- there was nothing honorable about saddam at all- he stopped at nothing trying to hide incriminating evidence-
“One of three important questions before us today is how much might remain undeclared and intact from before 1991; and, possibly, thereafter; the second question is what, if anything, was illegally produced or procured after 1998, when the inspectors left; and the third question is how it can be prevented that any weapons of mass destruction be produced or procured in the future.”
You knew damn well saddam was saying “Pay no attention to the voice behind the curtain”- He was juts biding his time and waiting for the right time to rebuild what he had just destroyed- every honest person knew this—
not to mention the fact that wmds wasn’t even the main reason for going in- infact, President Bush specifically told his advisors and military not to use it as the reason for going in and removing saddam- the msm falsely got the lying narrative out htere that ‘Bush lied about wmd’s in order to get vengence for his daddy’s failed attempt to remove saddam’- Bob woodward- no friend of Bush- looked long and hard for evidence that Pres Bush used the excuse of wmd’s as the main justification ,and he found objective evidence that showed just the opposite- at least woodward was intellectually honest enough to admit this-
