Iraq had weapons of mass destruction in 2003.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
1 source for · 6 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction in 2003?

No. Reference accounts state that no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq after the 2003 invasion despite lengthy inspections, and the post-war Iraq Survey Group found no evidence of stockpiled WMD. A pre-war medical article and several fragmentary book snippets only partially bear on the question.
