From the start, I thought WMD's were nuclear weapons and only that. After all, chemical and biological weapons don't necessarily destroy. They kill, but don't destroy.

It's interesting to see how conservatives are quick in dismissing this or that weapon as belonging to the WMD definition.

That's part of the trust issue, actually.

WMD is a convenient way to describe something ast it precisely LACKS a definition.

It's the same with the purpose for war, actually. There have been many purposes and they have changed with time and circumstances.

Lack of clear and straightforward purpose for war and lack of clear definition for the kind of weapons that are searched, greatly undermine the US war in and occupation of iraq..
That's why the US wasn't able to convince the world.
