Can anyone tell me why Saddam didnt resort to the use of WMD? If he actually had them.

What's the point of having WMD if you wont use them? Especially when faced with a force that intended to occupy and did so. This is the ultimate scenario for any country with WMD.

This is why we have them. Does anybody feel that we would ship them all off to our allies before the Russians completely conquered our country?

Sure, with sanctions, he figured to bide his time, then to start up again or bring them out.

The UN inspectors had many things listed that were not found since we went in.

With France, Germany and Russia being bribed by Iraq and sabotaging further sanctions, Saddam thought we would never go in.
The UN held this deal up 11 years and especially the last 11 months when we wanted to go in with the financing of homicide bombers in Israel and other terror.

We found out France was into the oil fields for big money.
Russia and Germany were doing illegal business as well.

Those there are another three terrorist enabling countries right there. They want to say we are wrong for going in, but they were backstabbing the world meanwhile for money and oil.

So for eleven years and especially the last 11 months, Saddam was free to hide or move anything.
Look to Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other terrorists for his WMDs.

Plus a whole bunch will probably be dug up in the sand 30 years from now.
