this is such an absolute statement, what do you mean? when? where is the proof?
have you followed the debate between the various inspectors?

Are you saying before Israel bombed? In 1983 or something? after that the
inspections of the 90s have long since cleaned that up. The forged docs of the
USA to the contrary,

here is the problem: the huge nuclear facility in Iraq was built largely by
Bechtel, a huge American company.

so it is an even more nauseating thing that simply "money," and yes, European
companies also assisted Iraq, as did Indian and Chinese and no doubt more. But
you must not trust the USA so guilelessly!! Look at the lies told by its leaders
in the past,  you will find quite a few.  Common sense - leaders lie.
Governments do not admit crimes.

Israel has WMD and is not punished. With these weapons they protect themselves.
The situation is totally one sided for the folks who just happen to have oil.

By the way, you can bet the US is not any different when it comes to
trustworthiness. Think of what they told Saddam when they were shaking his hand
after he gassed the Kurds. That person shaking hands was Don Rumsfeld for those
of you who didn't know. Talk about  trust!
