If the establishment news services are to be believed Saddam Hussein had no nuclear program or ambitions, however even a casual reading of the report by the Iraq Survey Group shows that such descriptions are dishonest. Rather than having no nuclear program what the Hussein regime did was to hold all technical information, nuclear materials and scientific talent in abeyance until international pressure eased up. In one part of the report the ISG says that, “Saddam aspired to develop a nuclear capability in an incremental fashion, irrespective of international pressure and the resulting economic risks.” The report also says that there was an increase in funding for salaries and maintenance of Iraqi Nuclear scientists as a result of skimming money from the Food for Oil Program.
