[QUOTE="Jones, post: 95290, member: 4805"] You guys may not like Susie, but she does have her facts straight. Even the administration has admitted they were wrong about the WMDs: [I] The 1991 Persian Gulf War and subsequent U.N. inspections destroyed Iraq's illicit weapons capability and, for the most part, Saddam Hussein did not try to rebuild it, according to an extensive report by the chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq that contradicts nearly every prewar assertion made by top administration officials about Iraq.[/I] [I][B]Charles A. Duelfer, whom the Bush administration chose to complete the U.S. investigation of Iraq's weapons programs[/B], said Hussein's ability to produce nuclear weapons had "progressively decayed" since 1991. Inspectors, he said, found no evidence of "concerted efforts to restart the program."[/I] [I]The findings were similar on biological and chemical weapons. While Hussein had long dreamed of developing an arsenal of biological agents, his stockpiles had been destroyed and research stopped years before the United States led the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.
