Not finding a smoking gun doesn't mean there wasn't one. We know there were WMDs. Intelligence suggested that Saddam was trying to get more. But I do suspect that there was a measured effort to find reason to topple Saddam. But it's just a guess on my part. That Saddam was a bad leader is not debatable. He was a killer. But the US is mistaken if they think they can create a Western democracy in an Eastern country. Especially a Muslim country. A huge mistake. All this while Obama has just sent in 100 troops to a South African country to help with the rebellion going on there. Not much has changed in Washington DC. Obama still has in place many of the Bush policies pertaining to the war.
When someone commits suicide, it may say things one way or another. Only the one who took his/her life knows the deeper reason. That man's death COULD say something about the truth but just the fact that he took his own life doesn't REALLY say anything. People take their lives for many reasons. We can only guess why.
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.
"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.
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.
