The US govt sales job leading up to the 2003 invasion wasn't based on rusty, degraded, 20 year old shells left over from the Iran-Iraq war. The pitch was that Saddam was building an arsenal of WMD that was a threat to our country. Which was false.

"Which was false" .... someday my friend you might just eat your words.

We are still finding munitions and bunkers from WW2, so how can you absolutely guarantee that everything has been found in Iraq? As well with open proof that Saddam smuggled hundreds of truckloads of "weapons and other things" to Syria, how can you document that WMD were not in these shipments?

I am not saying 100% that there were WMD there but my gut feeling says that they were. Saddam would not possess then hide (buried in a scientists backyard) plans for nuke devices had he not been in the process of building them. Its documented that he ordered and received some of the machinery to build nuke materials.

Almost everytime the UN inspectors came for a surprise inspection materials were smuggled out of the camps before the inspectors were allowed inside. Why did they do this pray tell?
