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

He had them and used them before. Why should he have not stockpiled more?

The deterrent effect theory is marginally intriguing, but only to the extent it might underscore his pathetic lack of mental horsepower should it turn out to be true.
