Iraq didn't "voluntarily disarm"
- TheForumTroll 9y agoThey couldn't disarm of nukes they didn't have.
- grrmx1 9y agoI was referring to the arms inspections that were taking place through the 90s. Iraq had some quantity of chemical and biological WMDs that the Americans were eager to destroy. Iraq let them. And then still got invaded. I was referring to this, when I said they disarmed.
- grrmx1 9y agoIraq was subject to fairly intrusive US-lobbied inspection for much of the 1990s [1]. Inspectors were looking for WMDs (chemical and biological in that case), and did in fact find and destroy (at least some of) them. Iraq went through the trouble of accommodating the US. That didn't help them in 2003. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Special_Commission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Special_Commiss...
