U.N. Weapons Inspector Richard Butler “told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee [in testimony on July 31, 2002] that, years of weapons inspections notwithstanding, ‘Iraq is well into CW [chemical weapons] production and may well be in the process of BW [biological weapons] production. With more than 10 tons of uranium and one ton of slightly enriched uranium, according to German intelligence, in its possession, Iraq has enough to generate the needed bomb-grade uranium for three nuclear warheads by 2005.’ ”
