Just because you can't find something does not mean it does not, or did not, exist.
The UN did a pretty pathetic job with their searches in Iraq. They simply could not stand up to Saddam and get the job done, and done right. I don't blame the UN. Afterall, they've always been a pretty pathetic group of politicians.
You might want to start reading the news a bit more often though. Have you not heard of some of the latest developments? The plot in Jordan? Those chemicals may very well tie back to Iraq.

Jordan's King Abdullah revealed on Saturday that vehicles reportedly containing chemical weapons and poison gas that were part of a deadly al-Qaida bomb plot came from Syria, the country named by U.S. weapons inspector David Kay last year as a likely repository for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

Should be very interesting to see where else the WMD that didn't exist, start popping up. They are out there. The UN simply gave Saddam the time and the freedom to move things around and hide them very effectively.
