There is more than a little bit of info out there about the WMD being smuggled out of Iraq.

Yeah, the ink's dry on the forgeries now.

Of course none of this will convince the liberals and Rodehard. They feel that the WMD never existed, even when Saddam was trying to smuggle in the machines that make fissionable bomb material as well as the components to work with gasses.

Ask any military officer that knows weapons and he'll tell you that there are only one kind of what's now known as WMD's that really are wepons of mass destruction, nukes. It's strange that for all but a few of my 25+ years of military experience, the three special weapon groups, nuclear, biological, and chemical, were known as NBC weapons, or simply Special Weapons. The term WMD was coined during the Clinton administration to cast a more sinister tone on these unique, specialized weapons.
You can also ask any commander whether, given a choice, he'd opt for chemical rounds or conventional artillery rounds and he'd tell you that for 95% of combat operations, conventional rounds are much more valuable. Chemical weapons have uses over a very narrow range of scenarios. The trenches of World War One, and when the US Navy requested their use against Japanese troops in caves and tunnels on certain islands in the Pacific during World War Two, they were turned down and consequently US troop casualties were much higher.

There has been an investigation of that event which occured during the Iraq-Iran war, not after 1991 like the Bush'ists like to claim. That investigation was unable to determine which of the two warring countries actually did the deed since both were conducting combat operations in the area and both were using chemical weapons during the operation. The Iranians occupied the town at one point, as did the Iraqi Army.

Joe, you don't know fecal matter from Shinola about this subject, it'd be best if you don't speak of it again.
