If Saddam Hussein’s
administration did not have WMD, then what did he use against the Kurds in northern
Iraq, when he dropped chemical weapons to murder
thousands of his own people?

We Already Know the Administration Was Lying
by Gene Callahan
I found Bob Murphy's recent piece on
LewRockwell.com to be an excellent analysis of the recent controversy as to
whether the Bush administration was guilty of inflating the threat Saddam
Hussein presented to the US.
However, I felt that the conclusion understated the actual case against Bush.
Murphy wrote: "Until weapons of mass destruction are found in Iraq, and have been verified by
independent experts, the US
invasion remains immoral and illegal, on the very criteria President Bush
himself laid out for it."
This implies that should the US find weapons of mass destruction (henceforth, WMDs),
then Bush is off the hook for lying to us on this issue. But I believe that we
already can conclude the administration was lying, whether or not any WMDs or
documents proving there were WMDs eventually are unearthed. (Like Murphy, I
don't pretend to have any deep knowledge of Iraq's military programs over the last decade. It would
neither shock me if it really had developed some very deadly weapons, nor if it
had not. I am an "Iraq WMD agnostic." However, I do think it is
difficult to explain why, if Hussein would not destroy his WMDs to avert war,
he would suddenly destroy them right when they would actually be of use to
him.)
