Saddam never abandoned his intentions to resume a CW effort when sanctions were lifted and conditions were judged favorable:
Saddam and many Iraqis regarded CW as a proven weapon against an enemys superior numerical strength, a weapon that had saved the nation at least once alreadyduring the Iran-Iraq warand contributed to deterring the Coalition in 1991 from advancing to Baghdad. (reason enough for me).
While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of chemical munitions thereafter, a policy ISG attributes to Baghdads desire to see sanctions lifted, or rendered ineffectual, or its fear of force against it should WMD be discovered.
You are obsessed with what was left to be found after they had over a year to move them where ever the hell they wanted to.
Considering the previous stockpile the UN found, where did all of what they found go and what makes you think there wasn't more hidden or moved things?
You'd have to be illogical to believe that with him knowing there was a threat to investigate WMDs, that he would just leave all of them lying around when he had a year to hide them.
Your point of view on believing bad guys don't hide their weapons is ridiculous.
Their were in tact labs, chemicals everywhere that could be mixed to form WMD. Lots of dual use stuff was lying around Iraq.
And again, with a year to hide and wipe what he wanted clean for inspection, what did you expect to find?
