During the years between 1991 and 1998 the inspectors sought out and oversaw the destruction of most but not all of his WMD's. When they were kicked out in 1998 there were still hugh amounts of chemical, biological materials that had not been destroyed and thousands of missile/artillary rounds armed with chemicals that had not been destroyed. It is this fact that is in question. Iraq has said that they took it upon themselves to destroy the remaining chemical, biological materials and missile/artillary rounds. They have not presented one shred of evidence to verify this. They have stated that they destroyed the paper work of the destruction of the chemical, biological materials and missiles/artillary rounds. Even if one chooses to believe that statement made by them, there would be physical evidence of said destruction. They have failed to provide the physical evidence of said destruction. There would also be those scientists, engineers and personell in general that would have been involved in the destruction of said materials. They have not provided anyone that was involved in said destruction. The UN and the USA wants proof of what happened to these WMD's and as stated 14 February by the head of the inspection team in his report to the UN Iraq still has not presented any proof of the destruction of said WMD's that Saddam still had in his possession when the inspectors where kicked out in 1998. I will ask you. Where are these WMD's?
What is there that you don't understand about this. Hans, in his address to the UN on the 14th stated flat out that they still have not provided any evidence that they do not still have the chemical, biological materials and missile/artillary armed with chemicals that were still undestroyed when the inspectors left in 1998. 1441 compels him to comply and he has not, period.

Totally agree with the above statement. But then it is up to the UN to declare war on Iraq not the US.
