Dismantled weapons
<The data to date, suggests that Iraq did, indeed, dismantle large quantities of its weapons of mass destruction.
Then why the hell didn't they prove it?
During the U.N. inspections, Iraq was behaving exactly like they were hiding large amounts of contraband.
Restricting access, turning in crappy paperwork, failing to come up with any evidence of the destruction of their WMD, threatening scientists with death, etc.
Why?
I theorized (no proof) that the upper echelons of Iraq may have been fooled by their weapons people, who feared the consequences of failure, into thinking they had a lot of weapons they didn't, and the upper echelons behaved accordingly.
Anyone have a better theory?
