So we allegedly had several years... and no way of knowing.
I for one am glad we didn't take that chance. Particularly since we don't even know *your* sources have got it right. Two things we know for a fact: 1. Saddam was actively pursuing WMDs. 2. In Ba'athist Iraq, pretty much everybody lied to everybody else.
But, wait a minute... Does this include dirty bombs? Aren't they supposed to be much easier to make? We know he had all the ingredients for that, including the delivery system, because... [link|http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/Iraq/2003/06/05/104390-ap.html|we actually found the stuff.]
I think it's safe to say he was six months away from a dirty bomb. And it's not at all farfetched - even now - that he was six months way from an A-bomb.
