It was the responsibility of Iraq to come absolutely clean about its WMD programs.

Well, Iraq said that they had destroyed all their WMD. IF they hadn't, then we should be able to show that.

Three points - Iraq had a stealth atomic weapons program in place for years that was never detected by inspectors. Second, Saddam was always playing games with the inspection process, even when he was told this was his last chance. And third, he could have easily, prior to the invasion, destroyed or buried his weapons where we can't find them. It really doesn't matter, as he was in noncompliance with the terms of the cease fire and subsequent resolutions for years, and that was a justification to remove him.

Our best intelligence was that they had WMD's. If they destroyed them right before the start of the war, how does that disprove our intelligence? The mobile bio-labs were known to our intelligence and were subsequently proven to exist. So our intelligence was correct.

Iraq agreed in their surrender terms to document and account for the destruction of all their WMDs. They failed to do either. All they could do was say, "We destroyed them. And we never had them, anyway."

And they should have been able to show that they had destroyed them. We haven't found evidence of that either BTW.
