Where Are Saddam's WMD?

Officials say the U.S. search has, so far, found no banned weapons to
vindicate Washington's case for war. That could hurt the President as
he looks for help enforcing the peace

President Bush this week told the UN General Assembly that he went to
war in Iraq to defend the credibility of the international body.
Saddam's weapons of mass destruction represented an intolerable threat
to international security, Bush said, and if the UN was derelict in
its duty to confront that threat, the U.S. could afford no such
luxury. But the Bush administration's current efforts on the sidelines
at the UN to persuade reluctant nations to send troops to relieve the
burden carried by U.S. forces in Iraq has not been helped by the
absence of evidence to support the centerpiece of Washington's case
for war: Saddam's alleged weapons of mass destruction threat.
