"History has proven you were wrong" she taunted him with. All he said was we were all wrong, everyone.
Anyone with half a brain ( I wanted to be inclusive to Democrats) knew that Saddam had WMDs. And anything else he could get his hands on.
But if I may be so bold, my opinion is that WMDs were not the reason we were in Iraq. We were there to move the front to the Middle East and occupy the rag heads on their own turf. (And to kill Saddam Hussein and family. An extra benefit.)

WMD's seemed first and THEN I thought we stayed there to expand the American dream of democracy to the Iraqi people. It seemed like it might be possible for about a month. Then what a joke that turned out to be! The myth of democracy for Muslims was based on the BIG lie that these people were wanting it and would appreciate our help in obtaining it. They played us. Those "out of power" used us to topple those "in power" and neither side had ANY intention of instituting democracy. They played us for the naïve fools were were.
These war-like people respect strength and they deep inside want to dominate all others and rule over them, killing their enemies if possible, certainly NOT TO CO-EXIST with them. That's just not a Muslim thought at all!!! It's apostasy for them.
HOW STUPID OF US!!!
We showed our ignorance, toppling one strong man after another, thinking they were ready for the beauty of our faith incorporated in government. Democracy includes the expression of our God-given rights as individuals created by God.
