I was only talking about isotope analysis...which still won't tell you who bombed you. Isotope analysis *might* even reveal that the source was a US reactor, albeit one with bad security. Currently the anthrax attacks are thought by some to have been carried out with anthrax stolen from US labs.
The problem wih Saddam having WMDs is two -fold: he might use them himself, or more likely provide them to non-state terrorists he considers "friendly". alQueda kamikazi bent on jihad are a much better (and cheaper) delivery system than a Scud clone.
Not deeply related to this point, I nontheless found this essay interesting...
