Why did the US invade Iraq? Something about weapons of mass destruction? Oh yeah...missiles loaded with the stuff Reagan and Bush sold Saddam Hussein.

Our conservative estimate is that Iraq today has a stockpile of between 100 and 500 tons of chemical weapons agent. -- Secretary of State Colin Powell, February 5, 2003

Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. -- President Bush, March 17, 2003

Well, I think we have to realize that the weapons of mass destruction that they find could be just a few petri dishes. -- James Woolsey, Defense Policy Board member, April 22, 2003
