As to Iraq having large amounts of WMD on hand prior to the invasion of Iraq...it was reported that shortly prior to the invasion there were truck convoys going into Syria and some believe and still believe to this day that is where Iraq's WMD's are.
Me...I believe Saddam. After his capture Saddam told his one and only interrorgator that he eventually had destroyed his WMD...as per the U.N.'s order to do so...after the '91 conflict...and that he was running a bluff...not so much against the U.S. but against other countries in the region...primarily against Iran.
He miscalulated and pushed the bluff to long and to far.
