Why were those WMDs not destroyed in the TWELVE YEARS between gulf war 1 and 2?

No one is claiming that Saddam was acting in "good faith" but, as I've always said, the fact that Bush isn't jumping on this is a pretty good indication that it isn't very exploitable. Really, he
could have breeched it, but he didn't.
We hear that Saddam just wanted to shake the sanctions as soon as possible. Why would he touch the chemical weapons that he had given up to the UN? Of course, we're both just reading tea leaves here. I don't claim to have very much insight into the mind of Saddam Hussein.
