Well the inspectors have tabled their report.
I don't think I need to say a word, the evidence speaks for itself.
(Note I am doing a cut and paste from a CNN site)
BLIX'S POINTS:
Inspectors have faced "relatively few difficulties" in access to Iraqi sites, possibly due to strong outside pressure.
Iraq should be able to provide more documentary evidence about its weapons programs.
Iraq has provided inspectors with names of people who took part in destruction of biological and chemical weapons in 1991, but that indicates it should have records.
Inspectors have found no evidence of mobile weapons production centers, which the United States has alleged exist.
The destruction of 30+ Al Samoud 2 missiles is a "substantial" step. (*I deleted the end of the sentence as I feel that was has or has not taken place on a day not yet finished to be irrelevant*)
Iraq is making a serious effort to quantify biological and chemical weapons destroyed in 1991.
ELBARADEI'S POINTS
Iraq's industrial capacity "has deteriorated" at inspected sites due to lack of maintenance and money.
Iraqi scientists have agreed to be interviewed without escorts or being recorded.
Inspectors are still seeking to interview scientists outside Iraq.
Inspectors have found no evidence that Iraq, which purchased high-strength aluminum tubes, wanted to use them for nuclear weapons production.
Inspectors have found no evidence that Iraq has revived its nuclear weapons program.
