“In August 2002, Deputy CIA Director John McLaughlin presented to the principals committee the intelligence community’s judgments about Iraq’s WMD activities. …his briefing concluded that: -Iraq had reconstituted its facilities for biological and chemical weapons. -There were 3,200 tons of chemical weapons the regime previously had that remained unaccounted for. -Saddam had a mobile biological warfare capability, and a variety of means to deliver them, likely including UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles]. –Saddam had retained many of the same experts who had developed nuclear weapons prior to the Gulf War. -There was construction at older nuclear facilities, and Iraq was ‘clearly working’ on fissile material, which meant Saddam could have a nuclear weapon within one year.” [The 15th of the month used for date sorting purposes only.]
