FYI - If you are going to give someone a thumbs down, please base it on fact, not on your opinion.
This question is strictly about facts, not about right or wrong or the war. Simple fact based question - how many times did Saddam use WMD.

Nuclear = 0
Chemical = Tens of thousands of times in the Iran/Iraq war, and at least once against it's own people in 1986, the Kurds.
Biological = ??
It's amazing how many YA members don't know even this much trivial history, but yet feel qualified to take a shot at an answer. I've only seen one answer (besides mine) that's correct! Good job, "K" !

In war, during the Iran-Iraq War. Iraq used chemical weapons to fight the Iranian ground troops.
I believe WMDs were also used to attack some of its own citizens, as a reprisal for an attempted assassination.

They never got the chance to. First they didn't get the rest of the supplies needed and we moved in before they did.

-0- - even the claims that he killed his own people remain questionable. Fact is, we don't know where those pictures came from.
