Friday, September 17, 2004 How many reports do we need? One more time: there were no weapons of mass destruction. A new report on Iraq's illicit weapons program is expected to conclude that Saddam Hussein's government had a clear intent to produce nuclear, chemical and biological weapons if United Nations sanctions were lifted, government officials said Thursday. But, like earlier reports, it finds no evidence that Iraq had begun any large-scale program for weapons production by the time of the American invasion last year, the officials said. In its current form, the report reaffirms previous interim findings that there is no evidence that Iraq possessed stockpiles of illicit weapons at the time of the American invasion in March 2003, the officials said. Prewar intelligence estimates that said Iraq actually possessed chemical and biological arsenals and was reconstituting its nuclear weapons program were cited by the Bush administration as the major rationale for war. Remember, in the run-up to the attack on Iraq, Bush assured us that Saddam already had WMD. It wasn't until well after they couldn't find any weapons of mass destruction did he turn to other excuses like "intent to produce them" and bringing freedom to the Iraqi people. posted by chris at 1:13 PM   ------------------
