"concluded that Hussein was not in possession of significant stocks of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons at the time of the U.S.-led invasion." 500 munitions each with a potential yield of hundreds if not thousands is not significant. Perhaps having one half of one kidney infected with malignant cancer would not be significant either. If you assume a degraded yield of 500 each for 500 warheads (found so far) that is only 25,000 deaths. Perhaps that would not be significant if it hit New York City, unless it hit the Garment district, or the diamond district or the financial district... We have evidence that Iraq transported many more WMDs to Syria. It also appears likely that Iraq moved their WMD production and research equipment to Syria. So if a person hides their drugs in your neighbor's house, does that mean they don't have any drugs? "the munitions referred to in the report were produced before the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and that they had degraded " That was written by a person who had never encountered a person who had to jerry-rig or otherwise find creative solutions to problems.
