Lanny says the whole WMD was a lie, complete BS....when we know for a fact it wasnt. We know he had them, we know he used them, and we know he said he would use them again...but somehow that equates to them never being in existance?

Who said he never had them? It certainly wasn't me. What I said was that he did not have them at this time, which is what made the whole campaign in Iraq a load of bullsh*t. The UN inspectors came up empty. They didn't find anything. To the UN Iraq had complied and destroyed their weapons and weapon making capability. If the UN couldn't find anything and the UN felt the potential incursion into Iraq was unjust, then that was good enough for me. I will believe the world body over that of a self serving single entity government.
If there were indeed weapons of mass destruction, where are they? Oh, I know, they're buried in the sands, to be dug up in times of war and emergency. Yeah, that makes sense. "We're being invaded! Someone dig up the mustard gas and bio weapons! Now where is that shovel anyways!" Or better yet, "Someone dig up the bio-weapons factory that we buried in the sand. We need more munnitions!" I think that if the UN couldn't find any, and the US can't find any, that they no longer exist. They have either been destroyed to comply with UN resolutions, or they have been moved out of Iraq and are gone for ever. Since it is highly unlikely that Hussein would arm one of his neighbours with weapons that could be used on himself I'll go with the former. As tough as it is for those poisoned by the propaganda to swallow, it is more likely that the weapons were destroyed than it is for them to have been buried or shipped out of the country. Or so says/believes the UN.
