One theory that I find intriguing is that Saddam was merely pretending to have CBW (chemical and biological weapons) for the deterrent effect.

Sort of like putting a fake burglar alarm sign and panel in your house. Much cheaper than the real thing and probably works about as well unless you have a real breakin.

I know someone who has that - it makes a lot of noise if you set it off but it doesn't really signal the police. I set if off by mistake when I was in the house alone and it fooled me! I almost had a heart attack.
