Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

It's not a question of why WMDs haven't been found yet.
But if he had them, why didn't Saddam used them in his most desperate hour?
He may be as evil as you paint him, but he is no fool, he knew his troops couldn't defeat coalition forces by conventional means.
Wouldn't it have been good for him to use WMDs againt the invading forces? or retaliate if coalition countries were out of range at least at their nearer allies?
There were obviouly no WMD were it was "known" they were.
I grant that there's still a posibility that there's something that remains hidden. But something that can be so well hidden canot be a very big facility. And would probably need years of research before it can become an efective weapon.
A part of me believes that Bush's men attacked becasuse they feared no retaliation with WMDs.

And BTW I never understood why it's claimed that Saddam was willing to use the WMDs while other countries that have WMDs are not.
This has always been used as a known fact and as one of the justifications of the war. So please enlighten me.
And, no, saying he's used WMDs against his own people is two exagerated facts added up to make a biased lie. I'm not saying it was not brutal, but from his POV they were not his people but a rebel minority that seized some of the richest oil fields and threatened his country, and it's an exageration to talk about WMDs here.
