You're the one that claimed there *was* a difference between standard weapons and WMDs. I merely asked which one was worse, given there *was* a difference. And I never said Saddam *didnt* *ever* have WMDs - there's plenty of evidence that he gassed the Kurds, for instance. I merely claim that he didn't have them *at the time it was used as a reason for a war*. Yes, he had them 15 years ago, when we fought a war to kick him out of Kuwait, and at the time, we didn't use the fact he *had* them to kick him out of Iraq too. A decade later, we knowingly mis-stated the facts (that's "*lied*", for the people who prefer clear language) about his *current* possession as a reason to invade Iraq. OK?
