Realities of the Iraq War:

Months before the war, doubts arose about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
In a statement to the U.N. Security Council, the International Atomic Energy Agency director said that he expected, “within the next few months, barring exceptional circumstances and provided there is sustained proactive cooperation by Iraq, to provide credible assurance that Iraq has no nuclear weapons program.”

“Iraq has on the whole cooperated rather well so far with UNMOVIC. . . [A]ccess has been provided to all sites we have wanted to inspect and with one exception it has been prompt. . . .The environment has been workable.”
(Hans Blix Security Council Update January 27, 2003)
