" Wish I could find a great pic I've seen. Two Iraqis making Aluminum ingots in a makeshift forge from scrap."
I have no doubt as to them setting up small metal refining processes. And surely as stated elsewhere in this post, they where a industrialized nation, therefore they had such capabilities and probably still do. But in my mind there is no doubt as to all the things they had, used in the manufacturing of WMD's. And we do know that concerning biochemical WMD, lots of small makeshift labs have been set up in towns such as Fallujah after OIF I was effectively over. To me this is all a mixed bag. As how effective any small quantities of biochemical/biological chemicals,organisms could be generated and then packaged, and delivered to effectively cause great harm to many in a given area of dispertion, who knows.

The report further reiterated the need -- outlined in the previous quarterly report -- to adjust monitoring procedures "with respect to small quantities of weapons of mass destruction. While they may not be of military significance, they may be of potential interest to nonstate actors," the report said. "Small quantities of such materials could be acquired through clandestine procurement networks," the report contended.
Another issue of concern detailed in the report is the possible existence of "seed stocks" that might be used in the future for the production of biological-weapon agents. There is a "residue of uncertainty" as to whether those stocks continue to exist, the report noted. "Given its unresolvable nature, the issue could best be dealt with through monitoring to detect inter alia any possible future activity associated with biological weapon agent production or significant related laboratory research work," the report contended.

Perricos also told the Security Council that key questions remained unanswered, including the fate of hundreds of damaged chemical artillery rockets and toxic chemicals under UN seal at the Al-Muthanna complex northwest of Baghdad. "What happened to the 25 Al-Sumud-2 missiles and the 326 SA2 engines that UN inspectors didn't have time to destroy before they left?" Perricos asked. He also raised the issue of monitoring for unspecified dual-use items, aljazeera.net reported.
