Today, H. Obama, John Kerry, and the anti-Bush - anti/war crowd are doing exactly what they hated back in 2003. And McCain thinks this is just fine.

US did find Iraq WMD

There were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq after all.
The massive cache of almost 400,000 Iraq war documents released by the WikiLeaks Web site revealed that small amounts of chemical weapons were found in Iraq and continued to surface for years after the 2003 US invasion, Wired magazine reported.
The documents showed that US troops continued to find chemical weapons and labs for years after the invasion, including remnants of Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons arsenal -- most of which had been destroyed following the Gulf War.
In August 2004, American troops were able to buy containers from locals of what they thought was liquid sulfur mustard, a blister agent, the documents revealed. The chemicals were triple-sealed and taken to a secure site.
Also in 2004, troops discovered a chemical lab in a house in Fallujah during a battle with insurgents. A chemical cache was also found in the city.

Of course,  folks forget that from the time Bush announced his decision to get Congressional consent and build a coalition (39 nations total compared to Obama's two) for the purpose of invading Iraq,  14 months passes  -  more than enough time for Saddam to move his chemical stockpile out of Iraq into Syria.  The picture in this post was taken just days before the actual invasion.  It and its caption speak for themselves.  There were dozens of such pictures,  btw.  
More than this,  you should know that Bush believed in Iraqi WMD's,  not because he had decided to lie to the American people,  but,  rather,  because Bill Clinton told him they were there.  More than this, Clinton's CIA director also confirmed their existence to Bush at the time of his inauguration along with every intelligence agency in the world confirmed their existence,  as well.  These are the facts,  and those who ignore them are the worst kind of partisan bigot.    
The fact that most of the chemical stock piles,  along with Saddam's nuclear plans, were white-washed from the Iraqi national scene,  is not proof of a Bush lie nor is this evidence that they did not exist.    In fact,  Saddam himself,  convinced the world of his possession of WMD's  . . . . . . .  and the United States was under no obligation to "investigate" Saddam's claims when,  in fact,  he had used them over and over again to kill his own people  -----  exactly what is happening in Syria.
