The author of Fiasco explains that Clinton's 1998 bombing of Iraq's weapon sites destroyed the WMD programs so throughly that the Iraqi scientists said they gave up trying to reconstitute the progrqams because it would take too long and be too difficult. Apparently Saddam was afraid of provoking us during that time frame too which may have played a part. When an Iraqi found a deal to allegedly buy a nuke from the old Soviet stockpile, Saddam had him executed so no one would suspect Iraq of trying to get a nuke.
You remember the 1998 bombings? The ones the republicans still say Clinton did to distract from his impeachment? The ones they still complain about as being asprin factories etc? Truth is, and the "news" will NEVER tell you, Clinton destroyed Iraq's WMD programs in 1998.
(Great book btw)
