Proto,
I totally see where you're coming from and I think it's a valid argument. But again, if he DIDN'T have them, isn't just as absurd to think that he would have played his cards the way he has all these years? It just doesn't make sense and I don't care how crazy a person tries to protray Saddam, he has historically shown that his hold on power in Iraq has always been his utmost concern.

It just doesn't make any sense to me why he would play the game if he had nothing to hide in the first place. Why try so hard to stifle inspections early on. Why kick inspectors out and blatantly irk the international community in 1998. Why continue to play hard to get if all along there was nothing to hide anyway?

It just doesn't add up. Regardless I don't suppose either point of view (he didn't give in so he must have been hiding something or he didn't use them so he must not have ever had them) is anything more than speculative, but it makes for interesting discussion.
