Nuclear Weapons Were The Reason ...
Again it is time to use the language correctly.

The USA sent 350,000 people to murder a man and his family because the "shrub junta" said the man had nuclear weapons. The junta stated they even knew where the nuclear weapons were.

Now the junta has succeeding in changing the discussion to that the Iraqi regime had weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The stated reason for the war on Iraq was nuclear weapons, not WMD. Do not fall into the trap of arguing about WMD.

Keep hammering home the nuclear weapons point. Argue your position from knowledge and strength. You win.

Argue from ignorance and you lose.

1. Yep, I remember the "mushroom cloud" statement.
And the uranium from Niger. Uranium is used in nuclear weapons.

2. Careful
One of the top contenders for the VP slot also cited the nuclear threat as the reason for his support of the war (and he adds, he wasn't fooled by the faulty intelligence).
