A question about Iraq.

[Stirk]

Does anyone else remember those missiles that were found in Iraq, and our government claimed they exceeded some sort of long-range missile agreement?

What happened with that? Was Iraq in violation of some agreement there or not?

1. They were there and in violation but destroyed

Without hesitation on the part of Iraq

3. And they were of course not a threat

They went over the limit of 150km to 162km and 193km, supposedly according to:

Remember, we were supposedly invading because we urgently needed to prevent Iraq from using WMD against the US.

2. well, yes, no, and maybe-- but we'll never know...

...because the rockets in question were destroyed. Here is a site that gives a great deal of information about this topic:
