For from the beginning, it was clear that Iraq's bomb program was unlikely to succeed.

And the Bush administration is demanding the bomb program be dismantled before aid resumes.

Before 1998, inspectors dismantled much of Iraq's bomb program.

"He has to stick around to help get a bomb program moving if we don't make it."

Canada, which helped India's bomb programme, was on the other hand.

By extension, was he truthful about his intentions in the German bomb program itself?

It was just such "monitoring," however, that failed to detect Iraq's bomb program in the first place.

Since Iraq has little or no spent fuel, its utility in a bomb program is questionable.

Shaken by its failure to uncover Iraq's bomb program, the agency is determined to make sure that it does not fall short again.
