Expert investigators like David Kay and Charles Duelfer have rejected these items as insignificant, and have concluded that there were no WMDs in Iraq at the time of its illegal invasion. Any ordinary chemist or physicist would laugh at what has been presented as "deadly weapons" below.

The U.S. and U.N. expert investigators found no evidence for HEU in any significant quantities. > > Found: 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons > Pretty amateurish statement or a deliberate attempt at deception. 1500 gallons of what chemical? How was it weaponised? > > Found: Roadside bomb loaded with sarin gas > One roadside bomb? How ridiculous! > > Found: 1,000 radioactive materials--ideal for > radioactive dirty bombs > Again, another amateurish statement or a deliberate attempt at deception. Any large radiation physics laboratory would possess 1000 radioactive materials.
