The Unsung Truth About the War
by Joan Vennochi

No one wants their child to die in the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place.

Iraq had no stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons for military use before last year's US-led invasion. Saddam Hussein's nuclear program had decayed since the 1991 Gulf War, an American weapons inspector said in testimony before the Senate Armed Services
Committee.

In response to the report by Charles Duelfer, the CIA special adviser who led the hunt for weapons of mass destruction, the White House said the Iraqi leader intended to restart the programs.

No connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda's attack on Sept. 11, 2001. No stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons or signs of a viable nuclear program in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. It all adds up to no reason for the United States to invade Iraq. That means the invasion was a mistake for which Americans are now dying.
