WTF Is It Now?!?

Pentagon in 2002 Found `No Reliable' Iraq Arms Data
June 6 (Bloomberg) -- A U.S. Defense Department report in September 2002 found "no reliable information'' proving that Iraq had chemical weapons, even as Donald Rumsfeld was saying the country had amassed stockpiles of the banned arms.

"There is no reliable information on whether Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons, or whether Iraq has - or will - establish its chemical warfare agent production facilities,'' a report by the Defense Intelligence Agency said in a summary page obtained by Bloomberg News.

"The DIA report suggests that before the Iraq War, the U.S. intelligence community did not have hard evidence that Saddam Hussein possessed large stocks of chemical and biological warfare agents that posed an imminent threat to U.S. national security,'' said Jonathan Tucker, a senior research fellow at the U.S. Institute for Peace and a former United Nations weapons inspector.
