Rumsfeld says W-M-D may still be found in Iraq
Capitol Hill-AP -- Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says it is too early to say Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction before the U-S invasion last year.
Rumsfeld told the Senate Armed Services Committee that U-S weapons inspectors need more time to reach a final conclusion about whether chemical and biological weapons existed in Iraq before the war.
Rumsfeld says he is confident that prewar intelligence was not manipulated by the administration to justify its war aims.
He offered several theories on why no weapons have been discovered, starting with the possibility that banned arms never existed. Rumsfeld called that "possible, but not likely."
Rumsfeld also said Iraq could have hidden some of the banned weapons. He told lawmakers that the hole in which Saddam Hussein was found "was big enough to hold biological weapons to kill thousands" of people.
He says such objects, "once buried, can stay buried."
