Iraqi WMD

Over the past couple of days, I've seen two stories related to the Iraqi WMD issue. Via Calpundit, I found a Los Angeles Times interview with Madeline Albright in which she said she believes Iraq had WMD. So where are they?

"I had very interesting conversations with some of the former weapons inspectors. They said that the kind of evidence that might have been there right after the war ended was not the kind that a Marine kicks a door open and finds. It would have been mostly stuff that scientific people might find by following the paper trail, and looking for small pieces of things hidden somewhere. God knows what happened, whether that stuff got scattered or what."

At the same time, RFE-RL reports that former officials claim Saddam wanted everyone to believe he had WMD to maintain an image of strength. I suspect the second theory might be closer to the truth, or the Iraqi scientists would have coughed something up by now.
