Bush: Iraq's WMD May Have Been Destroyed
Friday April 25, 2003 1:49 AM
LIMA, Ohio (AP) - President Bush raised the possibility Thursday that any Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were destroyed before or during the U.S.-led war, suggesting for the first time that coalition troops may come up empty in their search.
Bush, who is expected to mark the end of hostilities soon, defied much of the world to wage war against Saddam Hussein in a bid to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. Iraqi leaders asserted the nation had none, and an intensive search by coalition forces has uncovered no proof so far of chemical or biological weapons or a nuclear weapons program.
``He tried to fool the United Nations and did for 12 years by hiding these weapons. And so it's going to take time to find them,'' the president said at the Lima Army Tank Plant. ``But we know he had them. And whether he destroyed them, moved them or hid them, we're going to find out the truth.''

lol, kwist wel dat ze dat als excuus zouden gaan gebruiken. Als er over 2 maanden nog niets is gevonden en er ook geen nieuwe oorlog is uitgebroken, dan duikt er opeens een iraakse wetenschapper op die er getuige van geweest is dat de WMDs vlak voor de oorlog(12 jaar ervoor ofzo) zijn vernietigd.
