Hound,

 

Do you remember that on the eve of Clinton's impeachment, he attempted to delay the House vote by bombing Baghdad, stating unequivocally that it was because of Saddam's stockpile of WMD.  And after the fact, ABC News reported that "we have inflicted significant damage on Sadam's WMD programs" ( statements made by the Sec of Def and the Clinton WH).  We all were to assume that this meant warheads and the Chem WMD program.  So to say that Chemical weapons were not WMD's is a little wordsmithing, sure everyone knew that Saddam had chemical weapons, heck he used them on the Kurds.  But the Clinton administration had categorized the chemical weapon machine as WMD's.  

I wonder why this is just coming out now.  My suspicion is that it may help justify boots on the ground in Irag to fight ISIS.  But why did GWB not scream this from his bully pulpit is perplexing to me.  He and the Republican party have sustained enormous damage from the "no wmd's found" crowd in the MSM.  Something is afoot and I don't like it one bit.......
