While embroiled in this discussion:

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/board/showthread.php?s=&postid=202888#post202888

about this story, this quote was cited from the above story.

"Contrary to prewar statements by President Bush and top administration officials, Saddam did not have chemical and biological stockpiles when the war began and his nuclear capabilities were deteriorating, not advancing, said Charles Duelfer, head of the Iraq Survey Group."

AP has pulled this "quote" from the story.

Looks like the story is still up below:

U.S. inspector’s report contradicts Bush’s claims

Bush better be ready for this on Friday, it is certain to come up fair or not.

And what ambitions Saddam harbored for such weapons were secondary to his goal of evading those sanctions, and he wanted them primarily not to attack the United States or to provide them to terrorists, but to oppose his older enemies, Iran and Israel.

That alone would justify finishing Iraq off once and for all.
