> Iraq did have WMDs. Did they still have some at the time of the "invasion?" I doubt it. But no one knew with absolute certainty until AFTER.

But that is the point I was trying to make. They knew BEFORE the war. They were told so by the head of UNSCOM in 1998. Then by UNMOVIC in 1999 and through to the start of the war in 2003. The Bush administration deliberately ignored its own appointed weapons inspectors. They knew the "bombmaker" informant was a fraud, and still pushed him as an authority on WMDs in Iraq. The Bush administration deliberately deceived the American public to justify the war. They "hoped" to find a smoking gun and instead found nothing substantial, as would be expected from years of inspection turning up nothing.

> "What nobody ever talks about is chemical weapons used by the USA in Iraq. The USA used massive amounts of white phosphorus in Fallujah:"
> That is meaningless if Saddam had WMD's of his own. What the US has/had isn't the issue.

Isn't the issue? The USA is invading countries for using chemical weapons, and then it turns around and uses white phosphorus and depleted Uranium. This is being done deliberately. Look at this training video that the American army produced. It clearly identifies the radioactive nature of contamination left behind by depleted uranium. Knowing this fully, the American military is still using a radioactive weapon in the field, exposing not only civilians but also American servicemen in the field:

And if anyone doubts what it does, maybe they should see the rise in birth defects in Fallujah:

> War sucks. And since the intent in war is to kill, white phosphorus is handy. But likely innocents are being killed this way and in those cases, it should be banned.

When will Americans stop and do some soul searching? Talk of freedom and democracy is meaningless if all that an army does is bring death and suffering. Deliberately lying and using false intelligence hardly makes things better. I wonder how many Iraqi children see at what has happened to their country, and then turn around to blame the USA. Then they will grow up hating the USA for bringing a war based on a pipe dream of non-existent WMDs, then seeing their country's wealth pumped out in oil pipelines. Now let's give those kids a reason NOT to become terrorists.
