Perhaps...
BUT NONE THAT ATTACKED THE USA AND CERTAINLY NOT ON 9-11. That was
OSAMA BIN LADEN AND AL QAEDA. There are many, evil people in the world and many that think WE are Evil. You had better have your god prepared for a LOT of bloodshed if we are to try to eliminate them all.

Bush's fears were just that...fears. Not Facts. They dont exist.

You make a valid point. Allow me to clarify so you understand why the munitions you read about are meaningless.
What was found were rusting gas shells from the 80's, which by
The White House's own Iraq Survey Groups Admission were duds.
You can read all 600+ pages of the White House's own "Iraq Survey Group" Report on the CIA website
HERE or I will save you the time:
"While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of chemical munitions thereafter, a policy ISG attributes to Baghdad’s desire to see sanctions lifted, or rendered ineffectual, or its fear of force against it should WMD be discovered."There's your WMD's Jay...straight from the White House...not me! Good thing thousands of brave Americans died and we have spent over 300 BILLION dollars for some rusty gas shells, huh Jay? Remember thats the reason BUSH gave for going in...the WMD's.
The reason it was all over the news was because two Senators (Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI)) found this report and ballyhooed a small fragment, out of context. From the above text "a...number of...chemical munitions have been discovered". Makes all the difference in the world doesnt it. It was an attempt to "save face"...plain and simple.
It would be like driving out in to the Nevada desert, seeing a crater and saying "SEE! They are testing ATOMIC BOMBS! Here is the evidence!"

Huh? What a selective memory you have.
Most world leaders were staunchly against us going in. Please state your source.
