Can you prove you threw out the garbage last month?
The Iraqis were close to proving the destruction of the chemicals. That is why Junior had to launch his war immediately.

An example, he said, can be seen in trenches Iraq has begun to dig at sites where it says it unilaterally destroyed chemical and biological weapons. He said a U.N. team will come to Iraq on March 2 to check the soil for proof of the weapons' destruction.
As part of the process the documentation was shredded to give Iraq denyability. This was well known to Junior's team via previous informants which is why they kept insisting that they needed sales reciepts when all that was left was toxic waste dumps.

Now Glen Rangwala, the Cambridge University analyst who exposed Britain's
plagiarized "dossier" in early February, has obtained a "smoking gun" - the transcript
of a crucial 1995 UNSCOM interview with Saddam Hussein's son-in-law, Gen.
Hussein Kamel. Kamel ran Iraq's Military Industrialization Corporation, which put him
in charge of Iraq's weapons program.
In the interview, Kamel said Iraq's chemical and biological weapons were destroyed
on his orders when UN inspectors arrived after the Gulf War in
1991. "Nothing remained," he said (p. 7). "All weapons-- biological, chemical,
missile, nuclear, were destroyed," he repeated (p.13).
Kamel defected to Jordan in 1995 and turned over crates of documents to UN
inspectors, and gave extensive interviews with UNSCOM and the CIA. These are
precisely the kinds of interviews outside Iraq that the Bush administration has
called essential. Kamel's testimony is considered crucial, and has been directly cited
in major speeches by George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Colin Powell. Kamel, who
hoped to replace Saddam as Iraq's leader, was assassinated upon his return to Iraq
in 1996.
