The neocons tried to insert WMD after the fact when the war rationale was being exposed by the facts.
Altanmia Mining was a company that Marvin Bush sat on the board of. They were awarded the KBR gasoline/fuel importation contract for our operations in Iraq.
They never had fuel delivery in their company resume. Their profile did include "WMD delivery."
They had a shipment of banned WMD items and precursors turned back at the border of Iraq, coming in from Kuwait.
"Rayne Today," a Salon blog, once had a lengthy discussion about this fact between the blog host and myself. Several credible NGO and the United Nations, along with other coalition members, took note of the fact Altanmia was stopped at the bored attempting to import banned items that were in fact listed as war justifications.
