Dude, James Clapper was one of the original administration liars about the WMD's. he has offered not a shred of evidence. His credibility in Washington is approximately zero.
Clapper said ''The obvious conclusion one draws was that there may have been people leaving the scene, fleeing Iraq, and unquestionably, I am sure, material.''
In 2003, Clapper, then head of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, attempted to explain the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq by asserting that the weapons materials were "unquestionably" shipped out of Iraq to Syria and other countries just before the American invasion, a "personal assessment" which Clapper's own agency head at the time, David Burpee, "could not provide further evidence to support".
Two U.S. representatives accused Clapper of perjury for telling a Congressional committee in March 2013, that the NSA does not collect any type of data at all on millions of Americans. One senator asked for his resignation, and a group of 26 senators complained about Clapper's responses under questioning. Observers have described Clapper as having lied under oath, having obstructed justice, and having given false testimony.
Read the factual record if you wish. I can cite more.

Then show me the evidence that says otherwise. You can't, not even on FOXNews. Our own American inspectors warned us that no WMD's would be found in Iraq. And guess what . . . none were. Scott Ritter led 4500 USNCOM inspectors.
Don't believe me, listen to Condi Rice and Colin Powell in 2001.
Iraq, the spelling-corrector on my iPad is stupid. Yes, UNSCOM destroyed, removed, or rendered harmless Saddams WMD's. Tons and tons of them. All of them.
