Neither of you is very astute. Obviously, possession of WMD does not mean one
uses them; refraining from using them would have enabled Saddam to preserve his
relationship with his European sympathizers.

As it has turned out, Saddam's choice was to leverage a deliberately created
appearance that he possessed WMD as an intimidation tactic--as terrorists do.
