It's quite a contentious issue in some circles. Before the war I never thought Saddam had any nuclear weapons or nuclear program whatsoever, and I was highly skeptical of chemical and biological weapons inventories. I also predicted extensive U.S. casualties in a post-invasion guerrilla war, having some familiarity with the military preferences of Arabs in general and Iraqis specifically. That didn't win me many brownie points with friends and family, or my boss, but that's the breaks.
you people need to read scott ritters comments in 1998 when the inspectors were kicked out. this is not to you brig_gen I am just too lazy to post all the way to the top. anyway he said they were not cooperating, I think he might have even said there was wmd there. He was told by a senator he didnt the pay-grade to make those kind of decisions.
