This link is a series of headlines. None are to do with Saddam's WMDs.
Did you even read that link. It supports what our side has been saying.

As one of Saddam Hussein’s most gifted engineers, Tawfiq knew that the Iraqi dictator had shut down his nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programmes in 1995 — and he had told his handlers in US intelligence just that.

If you think that the other 190+ are major then why don't you listen to Syria or Zimbabwe on the subject.

From the link:
Quote:
Mr Blair has dismissed as "completely absurd" the suggestion that Western intelligence agencies invented evidence of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction to justify the war in Iraq

The link does support you view, but also recognizes that the CIA believed that Saddam had WMDs, it just thinks that they shouldn't have thought that.

These were just the first three links that I found when I googled something like "weapons of mass destruction intelligence agency" and all support the factual evidence that the major intelligence agencies all did believe that Saddam had WMD. Here are some better ones.

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/opinion...114/14edit.htm
http://www.wmd.gov/report/transmittal_letter.html
http://www.ornery.org/essays/2005-01-28-1.html

The second one is really good.
The point is not that Saddam did have weapons of mass destruction, or that our intelligence agencies were right to think so, but that they thought they had them. This is a fact.

MOST did not think he had WMD's, however others in fact DID think he had them. Mainly U.S. and British intelligence. Others did as well though.

Kind of a minute point, bad just thought it was worth mentioning.
