No matter how many reams of information and evidence your throw at him he dodges them like a silver bullet and pretends he never read you replies.
You expend so much effort and energy trying to convince him and responds with nothing more than insults, ad hominem attacks or "spelling corrections".

US officials also planned to display to reporters Iranian weapons captured in both Basra and Karbala. That sequence of media events would fill the airwaves for several days with spectacular news framing Iran as the culprit in Iraq, aimed at breaking down US congressional and public resistance to the idea that Iranian bases supporting the meddling would have to be attacked.
But events in Iraq did not follow the script. On May 4, after an Iraqi delegation had returned from meetings in Iran, Maliki's spokesman, Ali al-Dabbagh, said in a news conference that Maliki was forming his own cabinet committee to investigate the US claims. "We want to find tangible information and not information based on speculation," he said.
Another adviser to Maliki, Haider Abadi, told the Los Angeles Times' Alexandra Zavis that Iranian officials had given the delegation evidence disproving the charges. "For us to be impartial, we have to investigate," Abadi said.
Dabbagh made it clear the government considered the US evidence of Iranian government arms smuggling to be insufficient. "The proof we want is weapons which are shown to have been made in Iran," Dabbagh said in a separate interview with Reuters. "We want to trace back how they reached [Iraq], who is using them, where are they getting it."

How about this? The U.S. has been meddling in the Middle East for so long, they are afraid of the repercussions it will inevitably face when one country gets "equal" billing in terms of weaponry. My opinion is that the elitist structure within our society is becoming frightful because of the potential a country has to fight a "real war", instead of an "occupation". I would consider it "coming home to roost" in terms of the massive blowback that commenced from our interference in the Middle East for many years.

Whatever the intentions the U.S. has had in the Middle East in the past, it has increasingly become more obvious that most recently this "meddling" our government is performing is not effectively working out. It's actually becoming substantially worse.

I'm proclaiming that the current situation with Iran, if handled irrationally (like Iraq), will hurt the U.S. significantly, you can already see the effects the Iraq occupation is having on our economy, which are just starting to blossom.

I haven't (and won't) get into the various forms in which the U.S. government has lied to the American people regarding these conflicts, that should be elementary learning.
I think he had them but got rid of them before the war.
Look, it was not just U.S. intelligence, the British were saying the same thing. Because of this, I think he had them but got rid of them before the war.
Umm....they have the capabilities to build their own.
