TP is once again only half correct. The result of Kamal's revelations, was that Iraq admitted that they lied to Arms Inspectors (just around the time the UN Inspectors were going to give Iraq a "clean bill of health"). Because Iraq wasn't playing by the rules, the UN made the rules stiffer. This shifted the burden of proof from - the UN finding and proving the existence of a WMD program, to Iraq having to prove and document (to the UN that) they were in full compliance with the UN.

If Iraq really did destroy all their WMD's after the Gulf War (and ended the programs), then the Clinton Administration caused the deaths of roughly a million Iraqis (mostly children and the elderly) - for no good reason. I do not believe that! I do not believe the Clinton Administration was that cynical in its enforcement of UN Sanctions.
