It's only missing if one fails (or refuses) to look.

I've linked here to the CFR's latest cut at getting
to a happy ending. A PDF copy suitable for printing
is also available.

Congress also held extensive hearings on this subject
approximately six months ago. I'll link separately to
a study from CSIS on the broader scope (pre-war, war,
and post-war).

It's in there.

Here is the dynamic net assessment published by the
Center for Strategic and International Studies in July.

Keep in mind that this assessment was based on the
information available to CSIS prior to the recent
resumption of inspection of CBRNE sites within Iraq.

Enjoy.
