All these are the typical lies the western media is telling you. I advise you to start reading RT, Sputnik, Pravda etc, and also listen to US Colonel douglas macgregor and UN weapons inspector scott ritter.
If you only read what BBC(and mainstream media) has to tell you, you will get a very distorted worldview.
Copy and paste answer? if you've read this thread you'd know my posts are often at odds with, and sometimes found contentious, stuff the BBC and other mainstream media is coming out with.
