Former weapons inspector David Kay said Wednesday “we were almost all wrong” about Saddam Hussein’s weapons programs, as Congress pressed a high-stakes struggle to pinpoint why that happened and who was responsible.
Republicans say intelligence agencies were the problem. Democrats point to the White House, questioning possible pressure put on analysts and noting Vice President Dick Cheney’s continued assertions that weapons of mass destruction existed.
Kay said he spent six months looking for the former Iraqi president’s banned weapons and has concluded that they were not there. Kay said inspectors found no stockpiles–large or small.
