However, a WSJ article carried back in 2004-05, can't remeber date explained that on a specific evening just prior to America's troops reached Iraq, the Iraq Republican guard replaced syrian guards overnight and then returned to Iraq. I can live with people saying that there were no WMD's because I believe the sacrifaces in Iraq will pay off.

I was never a big fan of boots on the ground in Afghan because Russia went broke there. I do agree with CIA operations, Drone strikes and the like

Finally Iraq successfully buried airplanes in the desert and so a few truck loads of WMD wouldn't be problematic

That's a long way around of saying I am not convinced there were no WMD's

I hear you.Just because they were not found doesn't mean they were not there.

What a profound statement.

"Just because they were not found doesn't mean they were not there."

Just to let you know, Bush II attacked Iraq because Sadam tried to assinate Bush I during a visit to Kuwait. It didn't set well with Bush II so when he had the chance he took ole Sadam out. Guess that is one way to "Say, Dad, I love you." on father's day. Bush II and is hip locked buddy, ruined General Powell. Way to throw someone under the bus that supposts you.

Most of what Bush II did I was in support of. Sadam did need to be taken out, but not for the reasons we did it for.

Also where is all the oil money that was to pay for our involvement in Iraq? Seems like that went out the window or maybe into some politicans pocket.

Thank-you. It is good to receive compliments once in awhile. It inspires me.

I forget the name of the person who said the following about WMDs in Iraq.

[paraphrasing] "We know he has them, we sold them to him and still have the receipts"

We just don't know what happened to them in the intervening years.

That's funny. Wish you knew who that was. Was that a comedian, or an actual government guy?

Sorry guys,there were no WMD's. Bush lied.

Wow, where did I here that a million times before? Oh yea, the democrats talking points. Like the transparent government he promised, yet had back door dealings to get Obamacare. How about when he said that we would only be in Libya a few days and not weeks but have been there over 5 months? Over 25,000 air strikes against Libya and an estimated 30,000 innocent civilians have died.

Yes, Obama lied and 30,000 people have died.

It was quite a while ago. During the run-up to the Iraq invasion when people were still debating how much time to give Saddam, what to do about the inspectors, etc.

The interview basically went "Well, he used CW on the Kurds and we sold him WMDs to fight the Iranians - we just don't know what he did with THAT stuff". Later in the interview the guy said a lot of the WMDs would have lost their effectiveness by now and would be about as dangerous as very toxic waste.

If pressed, I think it was the interviewer who said "So it's like we have the receipts?"
