LET'S SEE NOW, THIS MAKES HOW MUCH WMD EVIDENCE SO FAR?
So let me get this straight. We know that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction because he used them on his own people, killing tens of thousands. France, Germany, and Russia have beat the drum about how the U.S. was going to Iraq to trade "Blood for oil", and we find out that those same three countries, plus UN Chairman Kofi Anann's family was involved in making billions on the UN "Oil for Food" program, which also, incidentally, enriched Saddam Hussein's personal wealth by billions. So far the coalition has found, and the evidence has been substantiated by the UN -

Iraqi long range missles that violated the UN treaty -
But no nuclear, chemical, or bacterial agents were in the war heads because the warheads were missing.

Obviously the missles had warheads. Otherwise why would Saddam stock up so heavily on missles without warheads?

After more than a year, under Bush's watch, of watching the United Nations complain that Saddam was still not fully cooperating with weapons inspectors - after 13 years total! - we finally, after an extra one year last-ditch attempt at cooperation with both the UN charter and Iraq, went to war with that country on March 13, 2003. The media covered those who wailed, wrung their hands, gnashed their teeth, and cried out to the nasty old U.S. to "Give Peace A Chance!" To them I say, "We did nothing and 'gave Peace A Chance' in Rwanda. We 'gave peace a chance' in Sudan' Look what happened there. Who the hell out of all of you bare-faced lying two-bit hypocrits was crying then? What about Clinton's war that led to so much death in Yugoslavia, Mogadishu, and the French government's Bllod for diamonds propping up of the brutal dictatorship in Sudan and their War on Women? Why didn't you scumbags care about peace then? Millions died! You didn't give a damn!"

And Saddam? He was talking out of both sides of his mouth. He was both denying the possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction (to the UN) and broadly hinting that, he did in fact, have them and was going to use them. Meanwhile, the UN was turning up frustrating evidence. Saddam clearly had everything in place to create and launch WMDs, but Iraq's carefully scheduled inspections, many cancelled inspections, the last minute blockings of surprise inspections, was giving no indication of credibility to anyone except blithely ignorant Socialists and UN weapons Inspector Hans Blix, who was frequently angered at his treatment by the Iraqi government, but still wanted the United States to kneel to him regarding WMD. He was in charge! It was his show! He wanted respect!

Word continues to come out of Russia, hardly on our side in this conflict (Russia is quite unhappy with the U.S., we killed off their billion dollar Cash Cow of "Oil for Food" by going to war with Iraq. Now Russia feels that the U.S.' reaffirming diplomatic relations with Armenia is Bush's way of tearing that country from Russia's "Sphere of influence". Whatever that means), of someone in Iraq firing ballistic missles at our forces.

In 2003, the slow build-up of evidence was mounting. In January 2003, Blix and his carefully chaperoned crew uncovered 11 chemical warheads that the Iraqi government apparently "forgot" about. The UN noted that they weren't mentioned in Iraq's 12,000 page report. The Iraqi government said they were old and outdated. Photographs and the inspectors reported that they appeared new and in excellent condition. These were things that the now retired Blix never found. The UN told Saddam that he had to "co-operate more actively if it wanted to avert a conflict." Even after the UN January 27 report, there was plenty of evidence of WMD activity but no actual proof. Saddam kept playing around, stalling, flouting, and rattling his saber. The U.S. had plenty of reason to go to war even by UN standards, in regards to Iraq's cooperation. The U.S. continued to stall for time, granting one more chance after another to the UN, and everytime they did, Saddam and his ridiculous staff paraded about on television like arrogant imbeciles. Saddam kept playing games right up until the last hour before the war.

"It's up to Saddam Hussein to do what the entire world has asked him to do. The evidence hasn't been very good that he is disarming and time is running out. At some point in time the United States's patience will run out."
- President George W Bush

Jordan has discovered gas weapons which would have been enough to kill up to 80,000 people. The Weapons of Mass Destruction came out of an undergraound network in Syria. It was transported through Al-Quaeda. The chemical signature appears to match that of the chemicals found in the Perfume factory that U.S. forces fought to enter in Bahgdad. Israel has already made the WMD connection.

BUSH WAR - CLINTON 'FACTS'
New information coming out these days points more and more to something that I'm sure the Republican party in general and George W. Bush Jr. in particular are mighty uncomfortable with.

Before I get to that, let me say first that I have no doubt - what so ever - that if Weapons of Mass Destruction had been found in Iraq, George would have happily basked in the adoration without the slightest nod to former prez. Bill Clinton. But its not going down that way. This is not to say that George is now blaming Bill. He couldn't do it even if he wanted to. To do so would mean that he was taking the advice of a dishonored* Democrat president who beat his father out of a second term while getting himself elected for the max!

That said, the hypocrisy from the left isn't lost on me. While the hue and cry of crocodile tears from the liberals were first pointed toward the citizenry of Iraq ("Oh, how I weep for those poor innocent civilians who will die under the oppression of American might!" I remember the blogs that yapped this line just before the Iraqi war and their self-indulgent racism was enough to make me puke! "Oh, Why can't we just leave them alone to be systematically raped, tortured, and slaughtered by the might of one of their own?").

The fact is, and tough if the media liberal left doesn't like it, but newspapers and magazines during Clinton's administration were harping on about Weapons of Mass Destruction for years during Clinton's presidency. In 1999 alone and under Clinton's direction, the U.S. was bombing Iraq nearly every single day. Not simply flying over to insure that the No-Fly Zone was intact, but bombing innocent civilians. One of the infamous standouts - which was even satirized by Will Ferrell (who played Saddam) on Saturday Night Live - was when we claimed to bomb a chemical munitions plant which turned out to be a baby food manufacturer. Now we can argue that Saddam lied and that it really was a chemical munitions plant, but that just proves my point. If it was a baby food maker, then Clinton spent the better part of the year having the U.S. military slaughter innocent civilians. If it was a chemical plant then Saddam had WMD. So what's it going to be?

*in the eyes of the Ken Starr Republican Porno Purple Pony show of the late 1990s.
A Tangent: How many of the Republican wonks beating their collective breast over Janet Jackson exposing hers, couldn't get enough of every single salacious and repetitive description of the Monica Lewinski cigar dance and blow job, Blow Job, BLOW JOB, BLOW JOB that they shoved down the throats of every US American child watching television? Around this time, wasn't Bob Dole doing Viagra commercials that played consecutively with him hungrily watching Pepsi ads of a barely legal Britney Spears gyrate with a bottle of Pepsi? "Easy boy," he quips to his dog. Family values my butt!

WHO SAYS IRAQ HAD CHEMICAL WEAPONS?
Besides CBS?
