Ritter claimed a very small amount of toxic materials were 'possibly' in Iraq. Nowhere did he -- or anyone else with a shred of credibility -- claim Saddam posessed anything that was a threat to the U.S.

Scott Ritter's testimony to Congress, 3 Sept 98

Mr. Chairman, with all due respect, I cannot speak on behalf of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Nuclear disarmament issues in Iraq are their purview. But what I can say is that we have clear evidence that Iraq is retaining prohibited weapons capabilities in the fields of chemical, biological and ballistic- missile delivery systems of a range of greater than 150 kilometers. And if Iraq has undertaken a concerted effort run at the highest levels inside Iraq to retain these capabilities, then I see no reason why they would not exercise the same sort of concealment efforts for their nuclear programs.
