The nuke program got destroyed post-91. The other stuff rotted and got dumped. None of it had an indefinite shelf life. There never were any delivery systems worth a damn that posed even the smallest threat to the US. Most of the stuff they had was the kind of weapon that only poor third world countries would bother with -- largely ineffective and very difficult to use with much effect but dirt cheap and lo tech. You want to talk WMD -- talk about North Korea where they are making nukes that could be sold to the highest bidder before labor day. If you really want to talk about our national security, quit pretending that Iraq was ever a priority -- get real and stop all the petty defensive babble about how well everything has gone in Iraq, and what a great idea it was in the first place. It wasn't and it hasn't.
