The major U.S. report on Saddam Hussein’s pre-war weapons capacity has concluded Iraq had no nuclear, chemical or biological weapons at the time of the U.S. invasion and that most of the country’s weapons of mass destruction were destroyed a decade earlier after the first Gulf War. The 1,000-page report stands in stark contradiction to the Bush administration’s repeated claims before the invasion of Iraq that Saddam Hussein posed a global threat because of his stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. Weapons inspector Charles Duelfer also reported that Iraq’s capability in restarting its weapons of mass destruction program was eroding at the time of the U.S. invasion. This also contradicts comments by the Bush administration that Saddam posed a growing threat.
