CIA Finds No Evidence Hussein
Sought to Arm Terrorists

Just in case you still haven't figured it out yet. From the Washington Post via Eschaton:

The CIA's search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has found no evidence that former president Saddam Hussein tried to transfer chemical or biological technology or weapons to terrorists, according to a military and intelligence expert.

Anthony Cordesman, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, provided new details about the weapons search and Iraqi insurgency in a report released Friday. It was based on briefings over the past two weeks in Iraq from David Kay, the CIA representative who is directing the search for unconventional weapons in Iraq; L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. civil administrator there; and military officials.

"No evidence of any Iraqi effort to transfer weapons of mass destruction or weapons to terrorists," Cordesman wrote of Kay's briefing. "Only possibility was Saddam's Fedayeen [his son's irregular terrorist force] and talk only."

So...even if there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in the run up to the invasion (and there weren't), Hussein wasn't trying to arm terrorists with them. As I've said many times here at Real Art on this issue, we've been had.
