The Wall Street Journal

Provides a damning article about the complicity of Germany, France, and Russia in the Iraqi situation.

Khidhir Hamza defected from Iraq and was the director of Saddam's nuclear weapons program. Mr. Hamza:

My 20 years of work in Iraq's nuclear-weapons program and military industry were partly a training course in methods of deception and camouflage to keep the program secret. Given what I know about Saddam Hussein's commitment to developing and using weapons of mass destruction, the following two points are abundantly clear to me: First, the U.N. weapons inspectors will not find anything Saddam does not want them to find. Second, France, Germany, and to a degree, Russia, are opposed to U.S. military action in Iraq mainly because they maintain lucrative trade deals with Baghdad, many of which are arms-related.
