I have read similar allegations. It difies my understanding that, if  
in fact the WMDs existed, that we, the American people, and Congress  
were not shown the proof after the fact.

I don't believe that was the case. If it had been the case, then the  
world might have joined us in the endeavor.

It seems to me that if Sadaam had possessed WMDs, that his neighbors  
such as Iran would have been alarmed and would have joined us to  
neutralize him.

We are either living in separate worlds or never reading the same  
material. He and Bin Laden were not friends.

Yeah, scary indeed. And that fear was manipulated to get support for  
the invasion of a sovereign country.

We, too, have WMD. Many other countries have WMD. Shall we invade them  
one by one?
