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.
Some of the satellite photos were shown on television at the time, and
Congress
did have access to the files. Our govt. had and has deals with Syria, Iran,
Pakistan
and other countries, and making it public knowledge with a certainty would
mean
the American people just might have demanded we pursue these weapons into
countries we had shaky agreements with.

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

Many did accompany us, Great Britain, Canada, Spain, Turkey etc. etc.



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.

Nope, Iran loved the fighter jets Saddaam flew over there to hide before the
first gulf war, they still use
them. Syria and Pakistan got the benefits this time. Iran had just finished
a long war with Iraq, and as
Iraq was the most powerful country in the region no-one wanted to take them
on. They let us do it
for them. Also, middle eastern leaders use us as the western devil in the
rhetoric that helps keep them
in power, how would it look to their people if they sided with us?

We are either living in separate worlds or never reading the same
material. He and Bin Laden were not friends.
Neither were Hitler and the leaders of Japan, and yet they sided against
us......
