U.S. officials say Iraq's WMD report doesn't even try to explain what happened to weapons documented by previous inspectors. They debate whether this is grounds for war. New York Times sources dismiss Washington Post story about a "credible" report of Iraq passing VX to al-Qaida. Iraq cancels an oil contract with Russian companies, jeopardizing support on U.N.
