Soldiers took them in the night

We were never there for oil, so we had no interest in “stealing it”.

Well, just maybe you can tell us why we were there, it sure wasn't because of WMD's.

Why?

You are the one that asked whether or not it was for oil.

There were many reasons given, or guessed at. Oil was the one that seemed to make the most sense to me.

We were there to remove Saddam from power. Oh, and Saddam definitely had WMDs, in case you want to bring up that other conspiracy theory.

Well if he had them, we sure couldn't find them, and if we couldn't find them, then there weren't any. Are you willing to admit that that invasion was one of the worst military decisions in our history?

He didn't have any because what little he had he shuttled off to Syria.

What, you think the Kurds gassed themselves? Are you seriously arguing that Saddam didn’t have chemical weapons?

By the way, the Iraqi Air Force admitted that they moved the weapons to Syria in exchange for Assad running the ratlines back into Iraq.

Are you willing to admit that you are doing nothing but spewing the most superficial and easily debunked conspiracy theories around?

ORLY?

How did we KNOW Saddam had no WMD's?

Before you answer think.

2 reasons.

First, I recall an interview with one of the WMD inspectors who said that certain chemicals were needed to produce these weapons, and there were no records found to show that the Iraqi government had ever ordered them.
Secondly, just prior to the invasion, the inspectors were given full authority to search for the weapons in any place they wanted. After a number of weeks they said they were almost sure that there weren't any and requested a bit more time to finish their work. Shortly thereafter, Bush had the inspectors removed and the invasion began.

The Kurds were gassed with weapons we had given to Iraq! There is not a single bit of evidence of any kids that WMD's were moved to Syria. In fact didn't Bush finally admit that there weren't any?

You are speaking of precursors. What makes you think all purchases would be above board?

Just prior to the invasion.... Hmmmmm

Why is that?

Just prior to the invasion.

Why wasn't he allowing unfettered inspection IAW the agreements he made a decade prior. That would be ten plus years the inspectors should have had. Not simply a few weeks.

Saddam gambled and lost.

Call it what you want, the inspectors found no WMD's in Iraq. Period!

Bull****.

We did not give them the weapons to gas the Kurds.
