The problem is...the Bush Administration was really pushing NUCLEAR weapons as the reasoning for attacking Iraq.
Remember? Hussein refused to let the atomic commission people in and was trying to make the world think he had nuclear weapons.
I guess he was bluffing and it didn't turn out good for him (or us apparently).
But THOSE were WMD's that Colin Powell went to the U.N. with his presentation about "yellow cake" and other ingredients that Iraq supposedly had and was building nuclear weapons.
So they can find chemical weapons all day long. But that is NOT a "Weapon Of Mass DESTRUCTION". It's just a chemical weapon. Doesn't "destroy" anything and certainly not in a "mass" way like the U.S. dropping atom bombs on 2 cities in Japan killing hundreds of thousands of men, women, and CHILDREN in a split second.
Nope, turns out there were no "WMD's" in Iraq.
And crude "mustard gas" and other poison gas delivery systems are not "WMD's". And I'm pretty sure that every country in the world has a secret supply of them anyway.
