CIA REPORT: Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction Programs

Iraq has continued its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs in defiance of UN resolutions and restrictions. Baghdad has chemical and biological weapons as well as missiles with ranges in excess of UN restrictions; if left unchecked, it probably will have a nuclear weapon during this decade.

Baghdad hides large portions of Iraq's WMD efforts. Revelations after the Gulf war starkly demonstrate the extensive efforts undertaken by Iraq to deny information.

Since inspections ended in 1998, Iraq has maintained its chemical weapons effort, energized its missile program, and invested more heavily in biological weapons; most analysts assess Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program.

You're welcome! It's so long that I emailed it to myself so that I can take my time in reading it. Did you catch "Scarborough Country" this evening? Joe had Christopher Hitchens on who reminded people that not only the CIA but the international intelligence agencies as well as the UN knew Hussein had WMD's. Hussein even admitted that he had them.It was a pretty good show.

No didn't see the show. I was flipping channels last night and I think it was Oberman that had an Iraqi person on and he stated it was no doubt in his mind that they would find WMD at some point. He said Iraq was very adept at hiding them both in the north and south...

My only question is how come some one hasn't came forward now that the regime is changed and pointed out some of the locations, assuming they exist.
