Quite simply because it is not possible to prove a negative. It is not possible to divine anothers actions until they do them.
We (those of us getting info only through news feeds) have no idea about the capabilities of Iraq's WMD or it's current ability to deploy them. There is also very little ability to determine any status on Iraqi WMD until the country is stablized and the country can be inspected thouroughly.
Just because he hasn't used them doesn't mean he doesn't have them. It doesn't mean he does have them either, but this whole speculative question is just that, and moot to debate.
