As remarked here and elsewhere, some phony, some not.

Its program (or programme as the Economist likes to call it) was shuttered and Saddam, by most accounts, intended to ramp it back up once the UN sanctions were lifted. So to say "no program" is misleading.
And I indeed to buy a new 911 as soon as I have the money, but I am no threat to be doing so soon.
Isn't "French control" an oxymoron?
Nicely done. Now work in the flood thing.
Uranium constitutes near 80% of Niger's exports - was this the rainy season?
Oops -- I guess we have to give the French some credit.
I like how you include the words "now know"
You'll recall that the Admininstration classified the material which undermined the war effort, so none of us were privy to all of it before the war. eta: Max Cleland knows more about this than I do.
