It has tried. During the 1991 Gulf War, Iraq trained several hundred operatives for planned terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, including bombings of American facilities in Southeast Asia. But these efforts weren't particularly successful: although Iraqi operatives pulled off small-scale shootings and grenade attacks in the Middle East, they bungled efforts to use explosives. Outside intelligence and law enforcement agencies thwarted more significant plots, including a 1993 attempt to assassinate former President George H.W. Bush during a visit to Kuwait.

I would say the plotting to assassinate a past president is a very serious terrorist agenda.

Why you guys don’t want to be realistic? It was the Americans and Europeans who provide support to Saddam to attack Iran, and it was again these government that provided technology of WMD to Saddam regime.
And for Osama Bin Ladan, it was the US government which developed identity of Osama in the war against former soviets, but luckily after collapse of the soviets union, Osama got the feeling of sympathy with suffering Palestinians, Chechens, Kashmiris, and many other suffering from the hands of America and Israel around the globe.

The answer is no. Suppose someone was to challenge your repeated lies about Iraq's non-existent threat to the United States. Could you provide any substantiation that didn't come from some right-wing web site?

Which PR firm fed this rubbish to your news media? Was it Hill & Knowlton, or perhaps someone else?
