Saddam played games with the inspection teams (remember the 'presidential sites'). Did Blix get a comprehensive look and verify maybe, but that was after 10 years of obfuscation. Also, you know who thought he might have nerve gas? The Kurds. And I wasn't arguing the invasion was good or bad, I don't think we'll ever know. At least not for a few generations.
