You're the one that claimed there *was* a difference between standard weapons
and WMDs.  I merely asked which one was worse, given there *was* a difference.

And I never said Saddam *didnt* *ever* have WMDs - there's plenty of evidence
that he gassed the Kurds, for instance.  I merely claim that he didn't have
them *at the time it was used as a reason for a war*.

Yes, he had them 15 years ago, when we fought a war to kick him out of Kuwait,
and at the time, we didn't use the fact he *had* them to kick him out of Iraq
too. A decade later, we knowingly mis-stated the facts (that's "*lied*", for
the people who prefer clear language) about his *current* possession as a
reason to invade Iraq.

OK?
