Dubla,
I think the point that you are missing is that Powell stood up at the UN with a dossier of EVIDENCE and showed pictures of what they said WERE WMD.
But since they invaded Iraq not a shread of this so-called evidence has been proved to be true.
The excuse that was used to convince people that they needed to go in was that the WMD's were sitting there waiting to be used and they had to get them quick before they were given to Al-Qaida.
The UN said before the war that 90% of all Iraqi military hardware had been destroyed in the first gulf war and that the country had been essentially dis-armed
The fact that the Antrax etc was un-accounted for was that it had been destroyed in the first gulf war.
Other points to consider:
The United States has a stockpile of 46,830,000 pounds of chemicals for weapons alone, a teaspoon of any of them is enough to maim or kill.
The poison gas used by Iraq was supplied to Saddam Hussein by the Ragan-Bush administration and the man who went to Baghdad in 1983 to arrange the shipments was Donald Rumsfeld, the current US Defence Secretary. The Bush regime has already left thousands of children dead and maimed in Iraq.
And don't forget that it was Britain/US that stopped the weapons inspectors looking for WMD and then used the threat of WMD to invade Iraq, killing at least 5,000 civilians (conservative figures)
