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.

After 9/11 there were lots of 'risk' countries.
A lot of funding for terrorism originates in Saudi, who incidentally have an appalling human rights record, but they weren't a target for the war against terror. Oh yes, we like them, they are our friends.
