Ex-Chief Inspector: No WMDs Will Be Found

[still_one]

LONDON - No stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction will be found in Iraq (news - web sites), and coalition leaders were wrong in their assessment of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s arsenal, the former chief U.S. weapons inspector said Saturday.


David Kay's comments came a day after Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) appeared to suggest that the Iraq Survey Group may cite evidence of such weapons when it gives its next report.


"We know Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. He used them," Blair said Friday. "What we know also is that we haven't yet found them." He then pointed out that the Iraq Survey Group was due to report in a few months.

"Anyone out there holding — as I gather Prime Minister Blair has recently said — the prospect that ISG is going to unmask actual weapons of mass destruction are really delusional," Kay told British Broadcasting Corp. radio.


"There is nothing there. There is a program there. There was an intention of Saddam Hussein at some point to reconstitute it.

1. sad

It's too bad that no one seems to mention much about how the US sold the crap to Saddam,et al. Doesn't that make US complicit in the use of these weapons?
I grieve for the millions that have suffered because of the US greed selling WMDs. Funny, it has been using them in this war and the Gulf war and hasn't been held accountable for subtlety nuking the Earth for the last, what 13? years, with "depleted" uranium.
May the Universe and the world forgive us!
