Not only that, but as American Scott Ritter, chief UN weapons inspector from 92'-98' has pointed out, Clinton used information gathered by the weapons inspectors to bomb Iraqi manufacturing facilities. (Ritter ended up quitting because of it - and yet Americans still believe that the Iraqis just kicked out the inspectors without provocation.)

The destruction of these facilities, and years of US-backed UN sanctions, make it higly likely that Iraq could have subsequently reconstituted their unconventional weapons programs.
