Used to have: yes The Un inspectors destroyed 91% of Iraq's WMD as of December 1988. Who says so: Scott Ritter, US Marine and former hawkish weapons inpector.He stated that as of Dec/1998 Iraq is qualitively disarmed. It has no functional capacity to develop biological, chemical or nuclear WMD. He, also, stated that in l998, Clinton pulled out weapons inspectors that this is what is referred to as the expullsion of the weapons inspectors.
The Kurds were gassed when Iraq (with backing from the USA) was at war with Iran. There is some doubt on whether Iraq or Iran was using the chemical weapons that killed the Kurds and whether the Kurds were the target or caught between the other two.
Iraq was disarmed originally by UN inspectors. repeat as you did.
It will not be a better world for any one nation to rule the world. This particular situation we saw the USA using fraudulent reports to justify their claim of Iraq possesing WMD. They bribed and threaten other UN countries to attempt to get a favourable vote to carry out this war.
There were no WMD used by Iraq; none have been found.
I expect a country like our friend the USA to be honest and trustworthy; I did not like or appreciate the underhanded methods they used for justifying this illegal invasion of Iraq.
Their goal besides procuring the control of oil in Iraq appears to be destroy the credibility of the UN so that the USA can have more complete control over international affairs.
They used the threats of terrorism to the USA to build support for this war that has now suddenly become a quest to liberate the Iraqi people. Why this sudden rush to "liberate" Iraq when they are supposed to be pursuing the terrorists. Who is Osama Bin Laden. Now so seldom mentioned
