Basically every country with an intelligence agency in the world was convinced Saddam had WMDs.
He had used them on his own people in the past.
Just curious, do you think every country fabricated evidence?
we were told about mobile production facilities. we were told about active nuclear biological chemical weapon weapons programs and production facilities. we were told about links to al quaeda. we were told that he represented a clear and present danger to the US and that preemptive military was necessary. we were told the intelligence was credible. we were told we would be greeted as liberators. We were told major combat operations were over. None of it was true.
Americans were already scared to death after 9-11 and he exploited that fear to sell the war.
