I hope you would accept the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists as a reasonable Source: http://www.iraqwatch.org/perspectives/bas-iraq-rules-nuke-8-91.htm There is a range of possibilities (from 6 months to many years) given there, but I see their consensus is that he had both the highly enriched uranium and the expertise necessary to build such a devise. Putting their statements together one sees an estimate of a capacity for the fairly rapid development of 2-3 bombs and a delivery system for those bombs ranging up to 1000 miles. > If not, then the point is moot, at best. Nobody has said that he had the supplies on hand. It is indisputable that he had sufficient weapons grade uranium at the time.
