France and Russia took the position that Iraq was not a WMD threat to the US -- and they were 100% correct.

Did you even bother to read that article on the information Tarik Aziz is providing the US?

He stated OUTRIGHT that he and Saddam had argued about the long-range missiles that Saddam was determined to build, despite being forbidden to possess them by the UN.

Aziz stated that Saddam had determined his chemical/biological programs could easily be restored in short order, but he needed long-range missiles to deliver the warheads.

And the French and Russians were willing to support this despot, even though he was in clear violation of the UNSC resolutions, and planning on violating even more should he ever get the opportunity to do so.
