Saddam kicked inspectors out of Iraq in 1998, after a long and consistent pattern of concealment and noncooperation. One assumes that when he let inspectors back in a few years later, his arrangements for concealing any WMD or WMD projects were sufficiently effective that the U.N. would not locate them, or he wouldn't have let them in. It stands to reason these items wouldn't be any easier to find now.

I don't think that we are anywhere close to the last word on this.

Of course, it is possible that he snuck off and unilaterally disarmed when nobody was looking. Wouldn't bet the deed to the ranch on it though.
