There wasn’t much of a consensus for Iraqi wmds either.
And it was never supposed to be nukes right? It was like chemical weapons or something.
Bush Jr did at one point say something like "... the smoking gun, which could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."
Think it was a SOTU. 02?
Said they bought yellow cake uranium I think.
Chappelle Show taught me that
that was a back-peddle made by the Murdoch machine nearly a decade later, where they tried to claim some old expired chemical weapons (that the United States gave to Saddam in like the 'eighties) were in fact the fabled WMDs.
The CIA knew it was bullshit but Cheney wanted there to be WMDs so chose to believe bullshit artists instead, if John Kiriakou is to be believed. One of the only times in history where CIA might have been the good guys.
I'm just saying that even organizations that were lying about Iraqi WMD are not doing it now.
