WMDs were in Iraq, chemical and biological. The majority were moved prior to the invasion in March 2003. I was there, we found chemical weapons and residue and we were exposed to them. That happened. It wasn't worth the Iraq War, but dont discount the reality.

We know, but they were mostly very degraded. I believe the US even sold the to Iraq decades prior.

The deep state played it up as it they had nukes or masses of biological weapons with modern delivery systems. All a lie

agreed. I know that there was plenty of WMD stuff found after the war, I've got that book "Disinformation", and I remember even more stuff was found after that guy wrote that book.

But on net it seems like Saddam only WANTED WMDs. Lots of the stuff found was just leftovers, and the chemical weapons don't really last (they're in the same class of chemicals as insecticides, which is a class of chemicals that was picked for that purpose because they degrade in sunlight, air, and water within a few days)

Yeah, they kept playing it up that they were going to get nukes if we didn't go in. https://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/08/world/threats-responses-iraqis-us-says-hussein-intensifies-quest-for-bomb-parts.html and they kept saying we couldn't wait for the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud. https://edition.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/10/07/bush.transcript/

First time I saw a dead person it was a little 5 yr old Iraqi girl who was killed by an IED and it was absolutely horrific. Fuck this evil bitch.

If you do a search for it you can find lots of videos where she said it on 60 Minutes. It raised some eyebrows and controversy at the time, but not enough to keep her from getting the award from Obama in 2012. She also served as Secretary of State under Clinton.

You ought to be looking at common denominators, not everchanging presidencies.

They own the Air waves and control the narrative. Too bad we don't enjoy similar control.
