"Then everyone would go along with his 'fantasy', or lose their heads."

Yes, that did also happen, but I tell you, Saddam is not insane in the sense that he's incapable of differentiating between reality anf fantasy. THAT is what the b@stard media is trying to get yo to believe when they talk about Saddam only imagining he had a WMD program while his generals went along with it to stay alive. Most of Sadam's generals are/were as evil and sadistic as he. He DID have a WMD program. While some parts of it min=ght not have been as EXTENSIVE as Saddam believed, they existed. Some parts of it WERE as extensive. I still say he was leaning on dual use chems to get around the sanctions. "THOSE?? THOSE are just drums of INSECTICIDE!!" (insecticides based on nerve gas; undiluted they kill EVERYTHING - I've had enough training in the use of the safe use of pesticides)

Now remember drums of "harmless pesticides" stored with chemical warheads. "It's just a FALSE ALARM!! 'Harmless' pesticides, that's all. Just Bush trying to justify his war for oil!! Did I mention Dick Cheney ran Halliburton...?" Think sacks of castor beans and threats of ricin attacks. "Well, just castor BEANS are harmless enough! Nothing to see here! Move along people!!"

Believe me, I am not in any way eluding to the fact Saddam was not cruel and very calculating. But during his last five or more years, it appeared to some and mentioned by some of the interviewed Iraqi general officers, that he was losing it. I am not basing my statements on L/MSM but on US Army released documentation. As for the wmd programs. I have written many many times repeating various things the US military forces had found in many military bases. There is no doubt they had plans on using bio/chemical weapons on an invading force. In fact, Saddam gave the order for them to do just that.
For what reason would one have to let syringes, vials of atropine, and gas maskes lay in ammo bunkers, if they where not quickly removing binary shells and other bio/chem ordnance configurations so the stuff would not be found.
Hell. In early 2005 I believe it was, one of our Army units found and diffused a crude IED. It was a rigged binary shell, forget the caliber.
So I am in no way diminshing the idea they did not have wmds .
They had big plans to go full steam ahead and make more once the oil for food/sanctions where lifted.
