Man, I wish I knew for certain. I've read quite a few theories lately, and one of the most plausible is that he did, indeed, destroy them. So why didn't he tell anyone? He ruled with fear. He remained in power simply because the world was convinced he had the weapons and was not afraid to use them. How long do you suppose Iran or Turkey would have waited to invade had they known Saddam was defenseless? Saddam is also known for great tactical blunders; I think this was another. It's quite possible he destroyed all the WMDs but stalled reporting it thinking it would keep him in power longer.

Of course the weapons could be buried out there somewhere, but I think each day that possibility becomes more remote. Considering all the CIA and Special Ops people over there investigating, even before the invasion, something more tangible should have turned up by now.

I think the administration may owe Hans Blix an apology soon. They accused him of running around like Scooby Doo without finding anything. The Coalition has much more intelligence resources available than Blix ever did and they have yet to find anything substantial.
