You know what?
During WW2, the vast majority of captured American soldiers were not killed, but were returned alive (source).
Uh oh! But why would the Nazis return American soldiers alive when they were killing so many Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, etc.? Why not just make the Americans work in the concentration camps too, or just shoot them?

If you know of other reasons besides the invasions of Iraq or Afghanistan I would honestly love to hear them.

Hmmm... let me think I wonder why most US troops were returned while Jews were killed? Perhaps because the US it self had large amounts of Nazi troops in their control that Germany wanted back someday. How many Nazi POWs did the Jews have in their control?
Our perhaps it was because Hitler never considered the US a subhuman race like the Jews. The US during WW2 actually had a huge german population and some fine looking " Aryan" people by any Nazi standard.
Ask yourself how well the Russian POWs did in the Nazi hands? Or the Polish POWs both consdier sub human in Hitlers eyes.

But answers like this group wouldnt have the resources to plant some WMDs in a country they control after having the resources to pull off 9-11 thats a weak answer.

But still thats a important factor to the war we are still in since its the entire basis for it, and its not "not necessary" as some people claim. Public support without the WMDs crashed and keeps getting lower all the time. If it gets low enough a rerun of Vietnam can easily happen and the US pulls out due to public pressure.

Where was this uber powerful secret cabal when no WMDs in Iraq showed up? Planting a few WMDs would have been childs play compared to most of these 9/11 Conspiracies.

But my question stems for the "why" of these 9/11 conspiracies.
# 1: Most often the answer I get for why is so the US would be justified in the publics eyes in invading Oil rich Iraq.
# 2: Afghanistan in the resource department is a undeveloped dirt ball compared to Iraq so thats rarely the answer to why I guess.

Oh yes Jack Tripper your right to smuggle and plant some WMDs into Iraq would require massive amounts of people. 10 C-5 galaxies a Divison of Marines a convoy 100 duce and a halfs and thousands of Iraq soldiers all on the take.
What was I thinking of course you would need a huge amounts of people and resources to plant and move some canisters of Chemicals
FYI I know enough about what it would take to plant evidence since im a third generation Cop Not that I ever did anything like that but I know how easy it could be done.

When did I ever say how many people it would take? Why do you keep putting words in my mouth? All I am saying is that it was not operationally necessary to take the enormous risk of getting caught.

Oh right. So because you are a street cop you are supposed understand what it takes to pull off an international covert illegal operation involving globally banned wmd? That's pretty comical. Sorry but you might have a point if we were talking about smuggling donuts.

It would not have been. The reason's pretty simple:
Any Iraqi WMD findings, in order to be confirmed, would have come under international scrutiny. As Iraq's weapons programs were pretty well documented, there wasn't much room for miracles. Remember the Anthrax prior to the Patriot Act? It was identified as the Ames Strain and traced back to few possible origins (all domestic, btw). It wouldn't have been possible to simply dump some WMD in Iraq and expect international experts not to notice.

" ...... According to U.S. intelligence sources, the White House exposure of Valerie Plame .........was intended to retaliate against the CIA's work in limiting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction....... the CIA Counter-Proliferation Division prevented the shipment of binary VX nerve gas from Turkey into Iraq in November 2002. The Brewster Jennings network in Turkey was able to intercept this shipment which was intended to be hidden in Iraq and later used as evidence that Saddam Hussein was in possession of weapons of mass destruction"
