Actually, it was not just the Clinton CIA. UN weapons inspectors actually found them, identified them, and gave documented proof of their existence. Saddam refused to give an accounting for what happened to these weapons, so I think it is very safe to assume they exist SOMEWHERE.

In terms of volume, what Saddam had in 1998 was not large. It could be easily stashed in a basement of some random safehouse somewhere, or an underground warehouse. Or maybe he snuk them out of the country and stashed it in the Syrian dessert somewhere. I mean he had 4 years to hide the stuff. Give them man some credit.
