it all depends on what your definition of wmd is.if you consider thousands of barrels of poisonous gas wmds than sadaam had lots of it.he shipped it all to syria and we watch it very carefully even now.even the regime knows they have to watch it.
In the 80s, we were treated nightly to results of the Iran-Iraq war. Body couts in double and triple digit thousands...dead by gas attacks.
You saw jusr miles of bodies. You wondered, “What kind of demon kills that indiscriminately? “, “What kind of moron follows commands when they leaders do not give them the equipment needed to survive such attacks?”, “What kind of demonic possession could control that many people to dedication?”
This nightly display on the news was that hardening of hearts against islam. We knew that any religion that demonic must be opposed at every turn.
