First, if I'm a chicken hawk you're simply a chicken.
You really need to look at the 20 years of intel our illustrious CIA had on him. As to WMD's what are you talking about. WMD is a terrible term. It's way too general. It includes biological, chemical, and nuclear. We've found and reported the thousands of chemical and bio shells we've found and continue to find. Your media never reports that information anymore.
As to working with terror, AlQeada isn't the only terrorist group out there. Saddam worked with many and had his own.

On your casualties, 4000 troops, that's very light. We lost that many in the first 15 min. of D-Day. Now before you attack me, I lost my first husband in the Afghan mountains 5 years ago. So I do know sacrifice. I also know we're seeing good come out of this and that this was the right thing to do.

They did find some Chemical Weapons.
The reason they don't report them is because they have "Made Possible by the USA" stamped on them. You see, St. Raygun took Saddam off the States who sponser terrorism in 1982 so he could aid Saddam in the war against Iran. That opened the floodgate for allied and US companies to sell him the goodies he need to make those weapons. Most of them were destroyed in combat or by the weapons inspectors during the 90's. Nothing new was found. No huge stock piles. No manufacturing plants. Nothing they Bush administration touted as one of the justification for the invasion and removal of Saddam.

Numb nuts, it was held in Qatar and released by Fallon's staff. There were rounds on top of rounds found. The media's response was that they were old and not functional. While the old detonators were bad, the chemicals inside were just as deadly.

I really find it hard to believe that you right wingers keep bringing up those old, pre-1991 rounds that weren't functional. Bush himself admitted that this wasn't what he meant when he said Saddam had WMD. (I recall him saying it on national television.)
And yes, the national news did mention them back when Santorum and a few of his ilk tried to say that they were justification for our invasion. Do you also recall that Santorum lost his reelection bid?

1991 sarin is just as deadly as it was the day it they filled the shells. One of the dangers we've had with these concerns the insurgents. They're very good using old shells for the IED's. One thing they're not good at is identifying the biological, chemical or standard shells. They've used all of them but fortunately the gas and bio tend to fail. That's a very good thing. Many of the IED's are used in civilian areas. Most of the time our people can contain and deal with the duds.

again you show complete ignorance.....
Sarin has a relatively short shelf life, and will degrade after a period of several weeks to several months. The shelf life may be greatly shortened by impurities in precursor materials. According to the CIA,[2] in 1989 the Iraqi Government destroyed 40 or more tons of sarin that had decomposed, and that some Iraqi sarin had a shelf life of only a few weeks, owing mostly to impure precursors.
Like other nerve agents, sarin can be chemically deactivated with a strong alkali. Sodium hydroxide can be used in a hydrolysis reaction to destroy sarin, converting it to effectively harmless sodium salts.[3]
