Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
Oh yes, the security services of the most powerful country on Earth got it wrong, there aren't any.

He was a threat to the region......had already invaded Kuwait. Used WMD's. Never gave up on his desire to go nuclear. Had links with terrorists groups.
Nobody knows for sure.....although there has been some interesting speculation about this. He certainly had them at one time and acted like he still did.
Correction.....the intelligence services of ALL major countries believed he had WMD's.....even the U.N. thought he did. After 9/11, would you take the risk? All relied too much on technology rather than good old boots on the ground intel. The thing that keeps our guys up at night is the thought that some terrorist group will get hold of nuclear materials. Frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't already happened.
