Forced to stop making them? By who? The war lasted all of 3 months....then he was allowed free reign to start up whatever he wanted again.
Free reign? After the war was over everyone just packed up and went home, allowing him to do whatever he pleased? That's not how I remember it.
I don't know what the duration of the war has to do with it. Those hundreds of coalition planes dropping bombs on everything can do an awful lot of damage in 3 months.
he had ZERO inspections for 4 years between 98-02. What the hell did sanctions do to stop his WMD program exactly?
What did the sanctions do exactly? They, umm, stopped his WMD weapons program. How do I know this? Because there aren't any there.
Give up the ghost that he had WMD?? Why would I?. He did. We know that...and it is impossible to refute that.
Interesting twist. You are right, he did have WMD. When? A long time ago. Obviously not within the last two years, which was the argument for the war. I don't recall George or you saying "Saddam Hussein is a threat to the year 1991". George said he was "a gathering danger" and "a threat to the United States". He wasn't.
Or everyone in the world EXCEPT Hussein was lying...thats where you are placing your faith in this argument. Sure you wanna keep that angle?
Jeebus. Nice try.
I even said they (the US) weren't lying. They made a mistake. They even admitted "we made a mistake". The head of the CIA got fired for crying out loud. They've held hearings and called commissions and asked for changes and said "we were wrong".
But you still cling to the hope that they were right. You shouldn't.
