The assumption was primarily based upon reports provide by the original UN Inspectors...so maybe the UN is the one that holds the ultimate blame for providing incorrect reports...based upon their interpretation of information they collected between '91-'98.

Don't blame the UN/IAEA cos some assholes then made assumptions/interpretations on data.
The UN/IAEA is not the spy agency for the US - never has been. This was part of the problem with weapons inspections in Iraq - the US was getting in the fucking way as usual.
The UN/IAEA are not "US employees" or "advisors" - they represent the international community and answer to the international community.
On the eve of this latest adventure into Iraq, there is little doubt that IAEA were more than aware of the actual situation in Iraq and had little doubt that Saddam would not be using any "problem material" in the course of this invasion.
As for the Powell "evidence" to the UN was already known to have no factual basis. Hell.. I even knew this shit - it was all over the world media and old news already discounted. Again.. a credibility problem.
It's just that the US did not care to listen.... there were other issues, - like the "liberation" with troops being greeted with flowers and other issues at that time, such as the well-being of "the women of Afghanistan". :-)
BTW... What happened to these "women of Afghanistan" where there was so much love and concern for?? They are not doing too well and neither are the women of Iraq....
