Yes, Ukraine had/has Bio-weapons facilities controlled by the U.S..
So maybe we should attack Ukraine? maybe?
OK you're right, Yes, Ukraine had/has Bio-weapons facilities controlled by the U.S..
And Yes the U.S. CIA, Pentagon, State Dept sold Saddam Chemical Weapons. But here's the thing, as you say, we have the DATED Receipts.
We also have the dated receipts of what had been destroyed since the Iran-Iraq war. Lt (Or Col?) Doug Rokke, Medical Chemical weapons specialist, has the receipts for destroying many of them after Gulf War 1 under Bush senior. And he and many of his team fell sick from doing the job. Chemical weapons and Depleted Uranium waste. Along with the train of U.S. & UN wepons inspectors.
The remaining items, based on the dates of purchase, had long expired their useful life by gulf war II. And a handful of those expired canisters were found during the war. But there were no major chemical or nuclear WMDs found. Which both Bush & Blair admitted after the fact, while claiming it was an intel mistake. "oopps!"
But several whistle blowers from the pentagon and the intel community testify to the FACT that the Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Blair crew all KNEW there weren't any WMDs to speak of. Colin Powell said it himself in 2001 at one point. But sometime after 911 it seems he got on board with the train of lies about WMDs, mushroom clouds, Yellow Cake, Aluminum Tubes, mobile Anthrax units etc etc.
Like the network of fantasy Afghanistan caves diagrams, the WMD info we were fed was propaganda to lead us into war.
so anyway, I do try to be consistent with my understanding of the facts.
Saddam did NOT have any WMDs to be concerned about. Or any ongoing nuke program.
Plus he never attacked the U.S.. It was an illegal BS "Bush Doctrine" of Preemptive war. You know, like Hitler, make up excuses & attack nations before they think about attacking you.
But we don't want to rehash all that again do we?

And we don't want to forget (or white wash) history, so we dont repeat it.
