I also remember the U.S. administration saying Saddam was close to having nuclear capabilities, (mushroom cloud was used several times) yet how many have they found so far?  |

| Nuclear Weapons Program. After Iraq��s defeat in the 1991 Gulf War, the IAEA discovered that Iraq had violated its NPT obligations by secretly pursuing a multi-billion-dollar nuclear weapons program, code-named "Petrochemical 3," with thousands of workers in numerous facilities. In the course of its sixth inspection, the IAEA located thousands of pages of documents that revealed the extent of the Iraqi nuclear weapons program, forcing the Iraqi authorities to finally acknowledge its existence. The IAEA investigation revealed details of Baghdad��s efforts to design an implosion-type nuclear explosive device and to test its non-nuclear components, including Iraq��s plans to produce large quantities of lithium-6, a material used usually for the production of "boosted" atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. In addition, the inspectors found that Iraq was pursuing a parallel program to develop a missile-delivery system for its nuclear arms. IAEA officials estimated that Iraq might have been able to, had the war not intervened, manufacture its first atomic weapons, using indigenously produced weapons-grade uranium, as early as the fall of 1993. |

Joo what drugs are YOU smoking? Look at the article that you're quoting! 1993 is a lot different than 2003. They have found NO nuclear weapons (as the U.S. administration was so sure they would) after THIS war. No matter how you try to spin it, they didn't find any. |
