MSM bias against the Bush(43) Administration has been well documented here at NewsBusters.  One of the more egregious deceptions by the MSM is the “No WMD” lie, followed by “Saddam was not a threat” in a close second.  I have taken an existing CASUS BELLI list of mine and combined it with information gathered by other diligent NB-ers to create what I hope is a comprehensive list demonstrating the threat posed by Saddam Hussein.

Hat Tip to Chris Donohoe, and Sua Sponte 75, for some of the descriptions & links.

1. Saddam was known to have WMD and used it in at least 3 separate situations.

  • S. Hussein used Chemical weapons in the Iran-Iraq War [Wikipedia]

  • S. Hussein used Chemical weapons vs. the Kurds in N. Iraq  [phrusa.org] Also see this  [Free Republic]

  • S. Hussein used Chemical weapons against the Sunnis in S. Iraq [Human Rights Watch]

  • Statements to the effect that Iraq had or was seeking WMD made by:

  • President Clinton, Madeline Albright, Sandy BergerRep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Carl Levin, V.P. Al Gore.  Also see this for many of the same or similar remarks [Snopes & acsa.net]

  • Letter to Pres. Clinton, signed by: Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, & others 10-09-1998. [Snopes]

  • Letter to Pres. Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham & others, Dec, 5, 2001.  [Snopes]

2. There is a long list of WMD, delivery systems, and banned conventional weapons found in Iraq

3. Saddam Hussein had a History of Aggression, attacking 5 other nations.

4. Terrorists have been found in Iraq & there were numerous associations between Iraq & terrorists

5. Other Casus Belli
