U.S. Weapons Inspector: No WMD in Iraq

HeadlineOct 03, 2003

Chief Iraq weapons inspector David Kay yesterday officially told members of Congress that no weapons of mass destruction had been found in Iraq. Democratic Senator Jay Rockefeller said Kay’s report proves that the nation’s soldiers were put at risk based on a threat that appears not to have existed. Kay, like many in the Bush administration maintain that even after six months of searching, stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons may still show up. Kay said, “We are not yet at the point where we can say definitively either that such weapon stocks do not exist, or that they existed before the war and our only task is to find where they have gone.” Among other things the inspectors have has found no proof that Iraq had mobile biological production trailers as the Bush administration maintained prior to the invasion. The inspectors did find some equipment that indicated Saddam Hussein might have had plans to some day restart his banned weapons programs.
