you cant have it both ways bodrul.....either he had them and used them on iran and the kurds and managed to hide them someplace outside of the country before the US invasion, or he never had them and bush lied. you cant use their existence for an argument in your favor and then turn around and use their non-existence for the same reason (especially in the same post). make up your mind.

then i will make it clear for you
durring and before the first golf war right up to 1997 when nato forces started bombing miliary instalations Iraq did have WMDs,
those were later distroyed by the UN and Iraqi's after they caved in from the bombings

Throughout the 1990s, Iraq engaged in a policy of obstruction, concealment, and outright harassment of UNSCOM weapons inspectors — all designed to hide and preserve a significant portion of its infrastructure, warheads, stockpiles, and expertise related to its WMD programs. An October 2002 report from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction Programs, states:
Baghdad's determination to hold on to a sizeable remnant of its WMD arsenal, agents, equipment, and expertise has led to years of dissembling and obstruction of U.N. inspections. Elite Iraqi security services orchestrated an extensive concealment and deception campaign to hide incriminating documents and material that precluded resolution of key issues pertaining to its WMD programs.
UNSCOM finally withdrew permanently from Iraq in 1998 after determining that Iraqi harassment and duplicity made it impossible for inspectors to continue their work.

like i said, you cant use their existence to support one argument, and then turn around and use their non-existence to support another argument. thats called hypocrisy.

After several days of wrangling, the UN Security Council agreed to the destruction of the VX gas left behind by UN weapons inspectors (Unscom) when they withdrew from Baghdad last year.
"The remaining task of destroying seven vials of VX standards was completed yesterday after instructions were received to that effect from (the UN Security Council in) New York," he said.
When the UN's weapons inspection and destruction process began in Iraq after the Gulf War, the Iraqis initially denied that they had been working on VX.
Subsequently, they admitted to having carried out research, and finally conceded that nearly four tonnes of the agent had been produced.
But Baghdad has consistently denied having deployed VX in missile warheads - what the Americans call "weaponisation".

come on bodrul, just admit that they had the WMD. everyone knows this, the only question, as i mentioned before, is what they did with it between the time the inspectors left and the US attacked.
