I'm not interested in the anti-France slogans. France does have a military and some nasty missiles that SH could have used to deploy WMD if the nasty French had sold them to him, which they did not.
>>How could anyone possibly determine that any WMDs could not be used before discovery by the U.N. inspectors?
Go and read up about deployment of nerve gases, anthrax delivery and the like. Preparation for wide-scale deployment is pretty hard to disguise.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
