Iraq, no WMD stockpiles, but intent to develop

CTV.ca:

The top U.S. inspector in Iraq says there were, in fact, no weapons stockpiles under Saddam Hussein, according to drafts of new report. However, the 1,500-page document does say there were signs the deposed Iraqi president did have dormant programs he hoped to revive at a later time. The report is from the head of the Iraq Survey Group, Charles Duelfer. And, in it, he will reportedly say Hussein was: Importing banned materials Working on unmanned aerial vehicles in violation of UN agreements Maintaining a dual-use industrial sector that could produce weapons. Duelfer also said Iraq only had small research-and-development programs for chemical and biological weapons.
Translation: Saddam Hussein did not abide by U.N. Resolution 1441.
