Saddam Hussein, the former dictator of Iraq, was deposed and executed in 2006. During his regime, Hussein was accused of possessing weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), but it was never confirmed whether or not he actually had them. In 2004, a leaked audio recording surfaced of Hussein discussing WMDs with his aides, leading many to believe that he had lied about not having them.<\/p>\n

There is no definitive answer to this question, as Saddam Hussein’s statements on the matter are conflicting and ambiguous. However, some believe that Saddam Hussein did indeed believe that he had weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), while others believe that he was merely using the possibility of WMDs as a way to deter his enemies.<\/p>\n

Why did Americans believe Iraq had WMDs? <\/h2>\n

The US government has long claimed that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), based upon documents which the CIA argued could not be trusted. George Bush, speaking in October 2002, said that “The stated policy of the United States is regime change.” However, it is now clear that these claims were false, and that the Bush administration knew that they were false at the time they were made. This is a serious breach of the trust between the government and the people, and it is essential that those responsible are held accountable.<\/p>\n

According to former head of the Iraqi Survey Group David Kay, material related to Saddam Hussein’s WMD program was shipped to Syria before the 2003 Iraq War. This is supported by interrogations of former Iraqi officials. It is possible that some of this material is still in Syria, and could be used to create WMDs.<\/p>\n
