Are you sure? Maybe not bush, but definitely rumsfeld and cheney. Shit, even after bush went on record explicitly stating that there was no connection between 9.11 and hussein, cheney continued to imply that there was.

If we can recover 500 shells after Saddam's removal we can reliably assume that either:
1) his control over his arsenal was never complete
or
2) he had weaponized chemical compounds available to slide to jihadi groups under that table.

I could see 1, but i fail to see how we can reliably assume #2 based on the fact that what amounts to decade+ old expired wmd's buried in the desert.
