Our goverment is worried Iran will move in. that's why they want to keep some troops stationed in Iraq. Good Luck!

You have to have a force to defend yourself and keep insurgents out. You will not get to decide if we leave. We will leave when we know we wont have to come whipp you again.

@usindependent50 The great cost of dismantling such a well-fed weapons programme must have contributed to the suffering of the Iraqi people under the decade of international sanctions and recurring US air strikes that followed. Unfortunately, sanctions and bombs tend to affect ordinary people, not the ruling classes. The UN knows that very well indeed.

@usindependent50 Unfortunately, the US government removed 8,500 pages of this report, leaving only 30% that the rest of the world was allowed to see. This was hardly surprising, since all five permanent members of the UN Security Council carry more blame for Iraq's WMD than Saddam Hussein himself. But the US holds more responsibility for arming Iraq than any other country.

@usindependent50 WMD shipments from the US to Iraq continued long after the mass gassing of Kurds in Halabja, 1988; an incident which US blamed on Iran at the time, but the story was revised to blame Saddam Hussein not long before the 2003 invasion. After the 1991 Gulf war, Iraq dismantled its WMD programmes, in full compliance with UN Security Council Resolutions. In December 2002, in a bid to avoid war, Iraq's government released a 12,500 page dossier documenting the disarmament process....

@usindependent50 Other routine shipments included chemical warfare agent precursors, detailed plans for chemical weapons production facilities, chemical and biological warhead filling equipment, as well as delivery systems, missile production equipment and missile guidance systems.

@usindependent50you are right in saying that many other western nations supplied saddam, in large quantities however, American exports to Iraq, with the full knowledge and approval of the US government, included regular shipments of anthrax, botulism, West Nile fever, brucella melitensis, and other materials used in germ warfare...
