Where are the weapons and the program's Saddam admitted he had in his declaration to the UN late last year.

Was Saddam so stupid as to let a war take place.....when he didn't even have squat.

I don't think Saddam had any choice in the matter.

This is one of the big questions that I have yet to see answered: Where are the weapons that "Saddam" claimed he had...and that UNCSOM accounted for. In 1995, after Saddam's son-in-law tunred on him, Saddam was forced to account for his program. While the UN said they detroyed most of them by the time they left in 1998, even they admit that they only got between 95-98% of them. What was left, according to them, was still a subsantial amount which is that laundry list that Bush and Blair quoted in their speeches.

Even as Ritter addmitted in his 1998 testimony before Congress, Saddam could easily reconstitute his program within 6 months. It only takes small samples of material to grow and cultivate new stock. And even if we assume Saddam destroyed what was left...without the presence of UN inspectors, other experts have said that these "destroyed" materials would still leave trace elements in the sand (or wherever they disposed of it) that would confirm this claim. Yet no such records or proof existed that Saddam destroyed his own stockpile. There are still alot of unanswered questions.
