Bill Moyers? Someone actually listens to that moron. The guy can't tell the difference between his ass and a hole in ground. And so he now says it was about oil so the left wing liberal loons fall all over it like it came from God himself. (Insert rolling eyes smiley here.)

I knew this was coming and was just talking to a friend about this very subject a couple weeks ago. As soon as they started talking about Iraq paying back the war debt with oil I knew the left wing demogogues would start spewing their propaganda about the war being about oil.

Once again and try very hard to understand this time. It was the UN weapons inspectors that said Saddam was hiding WMD. The entire world thought he was hiding them and I still beleive he was but got them out before we invaded. It was not Bush making that up like the loons try to make you believe. It came from the UN.

That is not true......  Concerns with the Iraqi government's use, possession, and alleged intention of acquiring more types of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) during the presidency of Saddam Hussein. During his reign of several decades, he was internationally known for his use of chemical weapons in the 1980s against civilians and in the Iran-Iraq War. Following the 1991 Gulf War he also engaged in a decade-long confrontation with the United Nations and its weapons inspectors, which ended in the 2003 invasion by the United States.

The United Nations located and destroyed large quantities of Iraqi WMD throughout the 1990s in spite of persistent Iraqi obstruction. Washington withdrew weapons inspectors in 1998, resulting in Operation Desert Fox, which further degraded Iraq's WMD capability. The United States and the UK,(not the UN) along with other countries and intelligence experts, asserted that Saddam Hussein still possessed large hidden stockpiles of WMD in 2003, and that he must be prevented from building any more. Inspections by the U.N. restarted from November 2002 until March 2003, but hadn't turned up any evidence of actual WMDs when the United States and the "Coalition of the Willing" invaded Iraq and overthrew Saddam Hussein in March 2003.

Great controversy emerged when no stockpiles of WMDs were found, leading to accusations that the United States, its President George W. Bush in particular, had deliberately inflated intelligence or lied about Iraq's weapons in order to justify an invasion of the country. While various leftover weaponized WMDs and weapons components from the 1980s and 1990s have been found, most weapons inspectors now believe that Iraq's chemical weapons program did indeed cease production after 1991. The Iraq Survey Group found indications that Saddam intended to resume WMD activities if and when military sanctions were lifted.

Thank you for proving my point! That word "now" is a very importnat word to remember. "Now" they believe that but prior to the invasion they did believe he had them. And that last sentence proves why Saddam needed to be taken out.

No one found anything prior, during, or after the invasion.

We agree?
