"Can you kindly provide any credible evidence to support your statement that they had totally given up atomic weapons research for a decade before Bush invaded?" David Kay was Bush's hand picked WMD expert in Iraq so his finding should have sufficient credibility: On January 23, 2004, David Kay resigned stating that Iraq did not have WMD and that "I think there were stockpiles at the end of the first Gulf War and a combination of U.N. inspectors and unilateral Iraqi action got rid of them." [2] Kay was replaced in his role by Charles Duelfer and spent the following days discussing his discoveries and opinions with the news media and the United States political establishment. He testified on January 28, 2004 that “t turns out that we were all wrong” and “I believe that the effort that has been directed to this point has been sufficiently intense that it is highly unlikely that there were large stockpiles of deployed, militarized chemical weapons there.” This looks like the extent of the nuclear program: "ISG found nuclear research materials and centrifuge parts hidden in the home of Iraqi nuclear scientist Mahdi Obeidi" Hardly meets the test of imminent mushroom clouds over the USA. en.wikipedia.org I will grant you that my statement that they had "totally" given up research is possibly wrong because it’s likely someone somewhere in Iraq may have been doing some sort of atomic research. I think it fair to say serious atomic weapons research had been given up as David Kay suggested.
