David Kay has resigned at his job of looking for WMD in Iraq. He has stated that he no longer expects to find any WMD in Iraq. He did, however, make the following observation in an interview with The Telegraph.
In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Dr Kay, who last week resigned as head of the Iraq Survey Group, said that he had uncovered evidence that unspecified materials had been moved to Syria shortly before last year's war to overthrow Saddam.
"We are not talking about a large stockpile of weapons," he said. "But we know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's WMD programme. Precisely what went to Syria, and what has happened to it, is a major issue that needs to be resolved."
So it appears that Dr. Kay’s failure at finding WMD in Iraq does not prove they never existed.
His interim report also indicated many programs in place that could be geared up to produce WMD in a very short time. We might call what Saddam had as “Just-in-time-WMD.”
