Keep in mind, Amnesiac, that Iraq had every intelligence service in the world fooled, and likely Saddam fooled as well. You don't tell a guy like Saddam that his greatly-desired nuclear program is an expensive failure if you enjoy a good paycheck and continued respiration. Saddam's Iraq did such a good job of controlling the available information about their nuke and gas programs that the entire UN figured they had them. That they didn't have much of anything left of either program was NOT for want of trying.

Barga, to polish your English a little: exhibit or expo in that context. An Expo is much larger, like a World's Fair. "Exposure" sounds more like geology, finding where the rock layers stick out.
