By focusing entirely on Iraqi WMD programs within the physical borders of Iraq, and by refusing to discuss contextual issues, the arguments missed the point that the bulk of the Iraqi WMD work since 1991 was conducted outside the borders of the country, this being a result of the lesson which Saddam derived from the 1991 Coalition war against him.

Agree with this 100% - Have talked with a friend from the UK who says there is much behind the Libya / Saddam WMD connection - At least with regard to the R & D of it -

Ping -

The Libya connection is where much of this story will end up (and why we know more about any non-active WMD program going on within Iraq).

Well, this might explain the sudden cheerful disposition to disposition WMD by Lybia shortly after Saddam's fall.
