He had already done the research for nukes, and could have had a covert program in place to make them. Intel decided he did. Kinda like Iran, are they actually making nukes? You really don't know. Saddam also knew how to make chem and bio weapons.

Well, I guess you don't know much about Saddam. Could start with the MKO, the PLF, and Abu Nidal, though there were others. As to Israel, his reward to the families of suicide bombers who attacked Israel was $10,000 for years, but he raised it to $25,000 shortly before he was kicked out of power.

300,000+ in mass graves ring a bell? The Kurds fighting a civil war? The elimination of the Marsh Arabs? Imprisonment on allegations? Tortures and punishments that included being pushed off the roof of a building, having fingers and ears chopped off, being raped, forced to watch your children being raped? You missed all that as well as much more?
