But when the UN says that materials...that they HAVE KNOWN OF AND WERE MONITORING...that were WMD's and delivery systems ILLEGAL for Iraq to have...now says they are missing...

They actually weren't illegal for Iraq to have.

Read again the Bold part...

UNITED NATIONS - U.N. satellite imagery experts have determined that material that could be used to make biological or chemical weapons and banned long-range missiles has been removed from 109 sites in Iraq, U.N. weapons inspectors said in a report obtained Thursday.

So are you saying that banned long-range missiles...that could carry those innocent chemical/biological items that may or may NOT have been weapons...weren't illegal?

And why have these banned missiles anyway...were they ONLY for "conventional" payloads?

And why were they in close proximity to these "suspect" dual-use chem/bio materials? Coincidence?

Actually they were. ISG report states they had missile that went beyond the range that was allowed.

Anyone else remember that some of this stuff wound up in junkyards in Europe?
