IMO he's lying! I agree! Every country on earth lies about their military capability; it's called National Security. If we had to attack every country on earth with WMDs, lying or not, we'd have to strike at Russia and China first, then turn the knife on us.
Lying is not a capitol offense; in Saddam's case, it would be a breach of the UN resolutions, but the UN inspectors have not found conclusive proof. We'll only prove that he has these weapons if we go to war and either he uses them, or we win and we find them.
Re: France: either they are confident that no WMDs will be used so their statement is an easy one to make, or they are making a reational commitment and want their detractors to take a chill pill.
