Last I checked chemicals are WMD.

Yes, and if Bush and Cheney had tried to sell a war with Iraq based on the very few and old chemical weapons we found it never would have sold. Instead they did everything they could to convince us he had a secret nuclear program. The facts are simple:

1. Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qaeda.

2. Colin Powell sold us on the threat of them getting Nuclear weapons. It was bogus and he later felt he had been misled. This is what I was referring to as "it was a lie".

3. Those tasked with finding the WMD's felt they were mismanaged.

What we did find was not a legitimate reason to start this trillion dollar war. If our true concern was the gas why didn't we do something after they gassed the Kurds, why wait?

By the way, has the war ever ended?
