So, they are still investigating. Now 3 years after it was used as the Primary reason for launching a War and invading Iraq. Not to mention the
difference between 'WMD Programmes' and 'Stockpiles of WMD's' which was one of the ways 'The Story' changed mid stream. But let's look
further, using their own words.
It very well could be something else that is being over looked here. Perhaps there were Weapons there & the U.S. did Know this. Also, perhaps they
did find them too and chose not to reveal their discovery though. Surely you'd ask, 'But why the hell would they do that??' Could it be that
these Weapons and materials that Saddam allegedly was going to use against the U.S. and others actually came from us?? That maybe it was the U.S. who
was supplying these things?? We did in the past after all. We have also pulled out the U.N. inspectors who are now no longer allowed to search
except on the boarders. The reason could be that if they discovered and traced the materials to their origin, that it would then point right back to
the U.S. Just something others way want to think about....
Mojom, I don't think you understand that the above report comes from the UN, and UNMOVIC, not from the US. The UN is the agency that is
investigating this, through UNMOVIC, and btw there is a lot of red tape into coming out with a final statement to present all the evidence. Just look
at the time it normally takes the UN to reach a conclusion and decide to do something about it. This is not the only issue where the UN, UNMOVIC in
this case, takes a long time to decide that they have found enough evidence.
But, if you look at the evidence they show, you can see that there were engines to missiles that were banned from Iraq after the first Gulf War, but
they were in possesion of Iraq in 2003.... Also the satellite pictures showing the buildings that still existed in 2003 and somehow dissapeared in
2004, show that Saddam and his loyalists were getting rid of those factories, which were under surveillance by the UNMOVIC.
You are also forgetting that the countries who have been giving parts for wmd and selling weapons to Iraq, and others lately, have been some European
countries, Russia and China at least. It is not the first time these countries have been selling weapons and other materials to Iraq and other
terrorist sponsored countries.
These are some of the links that show what these countries have been doing and keep doing, as well as other related links.

BTW, how did the story change mid stream? I think in here you don't understand either what they were refering to in the UNMOVIC report. BTW, you
should post links as to the information you are quoting or if you are claiming something that requires back up information. Links are some of your
best friends in ATS.
