There is no evidence that Iraq had the ability to attack anyone.
Whether or not they had a programme has not been proved.
We have to also be very cautious in believing what they say has been found, we know that there is a very good chance that any of these thing smay have been planted by a nation that we KNOW has them - America.

Remember, the treaty placed the burden of proof on Iraq for showing that they had destroyed weapons and components we
know they had. They provided no such proof. Therefor they were in non-compliance with the terms of the ceasefire.
