The height of Saddams weapons technolagy during the Gulf War were some SCUD missiles, which were all destroyed along with a major part of his military.
The US goverment told us that in the 11 years since then he had rebuilt his weapons to such an extent that he was now a major threat to the West.
During those 11 years there was an arms and oil embargo. The people were starving and the infrastructure of the counrty was being held together by luck and sweat.
However Saddam and his cronies were builiding beautiful palaces and living at a level that cost billions. Where was the money coming from to build this vast array of WMD in such a secret manner?
The US intelligence services were telling everyone they were convinced Saddam had built this powerful arsenal, though they had no actual proof.
With hindsight you are left with three answers, they were lying or the biggest bunch of fools to ever advise a President or they told the President what he wanted to hear to keep their funding.
Also one list of locations of WMDs, given to Special Services in Iraq prior to the invasion was a list of unusable, decrepit and non existent weapons. So much for the intelligence coming from the ground prior ro the war.
