"Undercutting the Bush's administration's rationale for invading Iraq, the final report of the chief U.S. arms inspector concludes that Saddam Hussein did not vigorously pursue a program to develop weapons of mass destruction when international inspectors left Baghdad in 1998, an administration official said Wednesday."
"Charles Duelfer concluded that Saddam's Iraq had no stockpiles of the banned weapons but said he found signs of idle programs that Saddam could have revived once international attention waned."
"'It appears that he did not vigorously pursue those programs after the inspectors left,' the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in advance of the report's release."
"White House spokesman Scott McClellan continued to maintain that Duelfer's report will support the White House's view on Iraq's prewar threat."
