Iraq told the other country and its allies it was impossible to show them something they did not have.
A war waged and after the war had ended they never found any weapons of mass destruction despite of a lot of people saying that they were sure that Iraq would have those.

Just because a lot of people feel the same way about a certain subject/topic does not make sure that is also true.

With kind regards,

Not to go off-topic, but you did bring it up. Iraq actually kept trying to make the case they had WMD's. They prevented inspectors from entering, they used troop/transport movements and bunkers to make it appear like they had them. Add to that he used poison gas on his own people. Saddam was trying to have his cake and eat it, too. He wanted to appear the big, bad by the surrounding dictators, yet still try to appease the rest of the world. It backfired, and now he's dead. If you're going to tell a story, tell it right.

That's all I'm saying on the matter. You may now return to your previously scheduled discussion.
