Even the Al-Samoud (one of their smallest) missiles were being dismantled by Hans Blix and company as the latest Iraqi designs are in violation of the 1991 armistice.
Federation of American Scientists - Iraqi Missles
Which SCUDs? AFAIK there weren't SCUDs found (while I am quite sure there are about a dozen left). The half of the Samuds were destroyed by the UN, and probably all would have been destroyed if the invasion would not have started. Since the UN abadoned the destruction program you cannot blame the Iraqi for not destroying the rest of this missiles while figthing a war. The Samuds weren't a reason to start the war for the US/UK, so why should they be used now as such?
