2003 * containment--Saddam didn't produce anything while the previous inspectors were there, he's not producing anything now, why would he in the future under the above conditions?
Pick a year and resolution and/or easy read about all the discoveries, lies and rebuttals Iraq incurred:from UN:
un.org
and notice NO 1441 listed-- that's under
un.org
How can you say Saddam didn't produce anything while previous inspectors were there, when just a quick read shows the deceptions and previous WMD.

UNMOVIC evaluated and assessed this material as it has became available and, as a first step,
produced an internal working document covering about 100 unresolved disarmament issues,
fully referenced to the database, including entries which need to be confidential.
The principal part of the present document represents the second step in the assessment and
analysis of the material studied. The unresolved issues discussed in detail in the first working
document were grouped into 29 “clusters” and presented by discipline: missiles, munitions,
chemical and biological. Each cluster has four sections. The first two sections provide the
background, including Iraqi statements and earlier UNSCOM findings. The third section
provides UNMOVIC’s assessment. It identifies the questions that are deemed outstanding and
unresolved. This may be because of the lack of convincing evidence or, in a few cases, because
of evidence that conflicts with Iraq’s account. The fourth section contains suggestions what Iraq
could do to resolve the issues. This is in line with the precept that Iraq shall declare proscribed
activities and items and supply evidence that can be verified by UNMOVIC. It is also in line
with operative paragraph 7 of resolution 1284 (1999), which states as regards the “key remaining
disarmament tasks” that “what is required of Iraq for the implementation of each task shall be
clearly defined and precise.” While a precise description of the disarmament issue to be resolved
is generally not too difficult, an exhaustive definition of the ways in which it may be solved is
often hard. It is believed that the requirement of definition of the tasks laid on Iraq was included

to protect Iraq against any “moving of the goalposts” in the sense of additional requirements for
evidence being raised when Iraq had fulfilled those first indicated. The fourth sections seek to be
as specific as it is possible to be in the description of what Iraq can do. |
