Actually, you can't hide them that well. Sure, a test tube of whatever, but you have to make the 'whatever', you have to have the missile delivery apparatus, you have to train the guys to use it, you have to have the antidote, you need the repair bays, you need the support apparatus....... and heaven forbid they should buy any of it and leave a paper trail, like the fake Niger nuke papers the CIA 'found'.

All that's been found so far is some papers from 198'something' in a back garden which could have been a students thesis or anything, some trailers with dual use purposes, some missiles with a length 1cm over the proscribed length and some aluminium tubing also known to be dual purpose. Even if you argue that's a 'liberal' view of the above items, it's still a whole galaxy away from a single WMD.

Given the time elapsed, and more importantly, the chance to use some dodgy interrogation techniques on all the scientists, generals etc. which have brought up diddly squat, I think it's safe to assume Bush either lied to everybody, or it was the largest failure of intelligence I've ever known. Gawd damm big failure, so big it is genuine unbelieveably.

Go oil. Go petrodollar.

The sad thing is it looks like America has sowed the seed of another few decades of increased terrorism. Hope the oil was worth it. What goes around comes around I guess.

Between 1991-1998 when the UN inspectors withdrew from Iraq there were tons of WMD materials/rockets/artillary rounds destroyed. When the inspectors pulled out in 1998 they estimated that 95% of the WMD's had been destroyed. It was the remaining 5% that Resolution 1441 called for the production of and destruction of. Saddam said that they had took it upon themselves to destroy the remainder of the WMD's but failed to offer one iota of proof of this...thus did not comply with 1441. Resolution 1441 was passed 15-0 and stated that he would comply or suffer "severe consequences"...he did not comply...thus the US and its coalition forces supplied the "severe consequences".
