We were lied to by whom? By the intelligence we received from scientists inside Iraq? Did the CIA create this fictitious story?
I don't think so. read, "Saddam's Bombmaker." As a physicist I read this book with intense interest. If the Israeli's hadn't bombed their first reactor near Bhagdad, they would have had deliverable nuclear weapons long before desert storm, and the missiles that landed in Isreal and elsewhere would have been tipped with nuclear, instead of conventional explosives.
They were well on their way to recovering their atomic bomb program just before Desert Storm broke out, and before Iraqi Freedom.
Where are their weapons now? Hidden away in either France, Syria, Iran, or North Korea, thanks to the ineptness of the UN and the stalling by some of our so-called "allies," whose butts we saved in WWII.
It amazes me how people forget their own history. The Poles in concentration camps, the French being overrun by the NAZIS, the Spaniards being threatened by the Nazis, etc.
It seems the only country that has not forgetten it's past has been Isreal.
Yep, the socialist current of appeasement runs deep.
First they came for...., and I did not speak, then they came for...
when they came for me, there was no one to speak [interpret - defend] for me.
