"Saddam promised us the Mother of all battles if we invaded. Ok, if he had all those weapons of mass destruction, why didn't he use them?
Because, it was all a sham! He knew he had no such weapons, but he didn't want us to know. Seven years of inspections had
turned up NOTHING!

Show us the weapons...show us ONE of the weapons. Bush's lying mouth is one of ours." - kendall

Which year are we talking about kendall 1991 or 2003? I would imagine, because of the last sentence of the first paragraph you are referring to 2003. Are you honestly trying to tell us than UNSCOM found nothing between 1991 and 1998 (seven years), if so their reports which are a matter of record contradict you rather markedly.

Now why would someone who had chemical and biological weapons be wary of using them against enemies amongst whose ranks were NATO and particularly US troops? Kendall could it have anything whatsoever to do with well known NATO doctrine that the automatic response to, and consequence of attack by chemical or biological weapons is the use of tactical nuclear weapons?

BB is correct in this thread WMD's were found but not in such quantities to satisfy the anti-US, anti-war, anti-Bush faction. United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 allowed Iraq no material breaches of it's terms and conditions, there were in fact seven such breaches between December 2002 and March 2003. George W. Bush was as good as his word, "If the United nations will not act, we will". He was perfectly correct in doing so.
