It appears that Iraq was working on a nuclear program, but since we can't find it that must not be true.

but we did find them in Libya, Iran and Dr. Khan says he sold it to N. Korea; the color of Sadaam's money must have been no good to the highly ethical Dr. Khan. /sarcasm off

The agency said Libya failed to declare a number of highly sensitive experiments linked to weapons production, including "the separation of a small amount of plutonium", albeit "in very small quantities".

"The key thing here is the know-how, not the amount," said one Western diplomat who follows the agency's work.

This is very serious," David Albright, a former U.N. weapons inspector and head of the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), said of the report.

"Whether they'd have finished (building a weapon) in a year or five years, they'd have finished. Thank God Libya decided to give that up," he told Reuters.

Libya secretly made bomb-grade plutonium

I guess the statement "The key thing here is the know-how, not the amount," can be applied to Libya, but not Iraq. For Iraq, it would only count, if we had found tons and tons of it. The point is that the above statement is right. WIth WMD, once they know how to do it, have the equipment, they can produce large amounts very quickly and even small amounts can be very deadly.
