now perhaps I am confused, but when I did a web search I believe I found the following which suggest that there were no WMD in Iraq at the tinme of the invasion:

So I have done a fair amount of searching for information to support your model that:

1) there were WMD in Iraq at the time of the U.S. invasion

2) they were transported to Iran

without luck.

Can you provide links to your material?

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/16/60minutes/main3516048.shtml

Around the four minute mark, a video clip showing Omar to be playing with wires was said to be him creating a bomb. How the video arrived in CBS hands was not detailed. Is CBS being used to bolster the gov’t’s case against him??

a fascinating concept.

Do you have evidence to support this position?

so I was thinking over your comment:

” And the fact is Saddam DID in fact have WMD, according to the United Nations and leading Democrats such as Hillary Clinton.”

So are you saying that because a number of people said Iraq had WMD that in fact Iraq did have WMD?

The objectvie evidence seems pretty clear that at the time of the invasion Iraq did not have WMD, so it sounds like you are saying that the words from these individuals are more important that the actual facts.

so:

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Poll_41_of_Americans_believe_Saddam_0624.html

which is from the summer of 2007, suggests that 41% of Americans still appear to believe that Saddam Hussein was involved in the planning of 9/11.

I believe that HRW’s point here is supported by the evidence.

The EU and Canadian media is highly critical of the US administration and for Bush to face these critics would be a true test of his Q&A abilities. Bush’s counterparts in the western world faced far more criticism than would be tolerated in a land where bi-partisanship is a virtue.

The US media has failed in its role as an independent source of information. Far from being critical, they have been used by the adminstration to “leak” secrets which are useful to the administration. The entire Plame affair was more an indictment of the media than the administration. The very fact that polls show many Americans believe Saddam was behind 9/11 and he had WMDs demonstrate a complete failure of the media to present information which deviates from the administration narrative.

In the last presidential election I forced myself to watch the debate and kept waiting for the two men to actually debate but it never happened. They simply answered questions and took turns.

Casting pearls before oysters. Nice try though.
