1) We don't disagree that Hussein had at least at one point WMDs.
2) What would you say "accounting for them" might mean? I'd say that on balance he did refuse to properly account for them, since UN inspectors HAVE pointed out big holes in his accounts of what happened to known stocks of bio-chemical weapons (or materials to make such weapons) and Hussein DID push out the inspectors when they started looking too hard after Gulf War 1. |
