If the "Saddam has WMDs and is working with Al-Qaeda" claim was made today, do you think more or less people in the west would believe it compared to 2003?

You’d get called a genocide denier for doubting the wmd story.

If Biden said it, conservatives wouldn’t believe it because they’re contrarians and they don’t have real beliefs outside of owning the libs

If Trump said it, conservatives would believe it and liberals would too because CNN and MSNBC would say shit like “this is the first time Trump has not lied about something.”

The issue wasn’t chemical weapons, it was nukes. “Yellowcake uranium” and all that shit.

Yeah I think the reason they say “WMDs” instead of nuclear weapons is because it kind of implies it could have been other things they may have actually had
