No, what occurred was Saddam was given a decade to move those weapons, to hide them. He knows his land better than any of us. We've found WMD pieces and parts, but no warheads...
It was later explained by Saddam that he figured the US presidents would always be weak cowards too afraid to actually act on their threats of military intervention if he continued his games with weapons inspectors. He also explained the reason he still maintained his non-approach to the issue even after he knew we were about to remove him from this universe, was he feared Iran more than anything, and the chance of him having WMDs kept Iran at bay.
We won't find the warheads until we tear apart Syria's vast deserts sadly enough, and even then... We probably are already too late on that treasure hunt. See, Soviet leaders in the efforts to help Iraq move those weapons into Syria are now no longer in power... They're making most of their cash on the secret Soviet caches that only they and their loyal men know the whereabouts of.
The chances are Al-Qaeda or some other Militant Islamic Fascists regime either already has said weapons, or is actively pursuing them now.
I think I said all that without violating someone's OPSEC even once, hooah.
