It is proof that prior to the FIRST gulf war Iraq had a weapons program

It is proof that Saddam hid this stuff with the specific intent of reinstating the nuke program when the coast was clear.

But that's not the point Bush was making. He made the case that Iraq was a "grave and gathering" danger.

Cheney said that they KNEW that Iraq had reconstituted its nuclear program.

What seems to be emerging is proof of something more benign. Iraq had no CURRENT production facilities on line, no CURRENT programs, little if any ongoing RESEARCH.

I don't know. This is beginnig to look like a smoking gun pointing right at Bush's mendacious justification of this war to me.
