BBC News - Inquiry told Iraq could not 'use' chemical weapons

The UK received intelligence days before invading Iraq that Saddam Hussein may not have been able use chemical weapons, an adviser has said.

Foreign Office official Sir William Ehrman told the war inquiry that a report suggested that such weapons may have been "disassembled".

A separate report suggested Iraq might also "lack" warheads capable of spreading chemical agents, he added.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Seems like some people have decided the game is up. Yesterday's testimony was pretty damning. That said, it oculd all be buried in pettifogging detail and grandstanding by prominent participants. Scarlett, Blair, Straw & campbell should all have to face the gulf between the facts as they knew them and the lies they told. I expect them to tough it out but it might be fun wathicng it happen.
