Go to any of the RW threads, or turn on hate radio (don't know if they have that in your neck of the woods), and you'll hear them quoting Clinton & Co. on Saddam's WMD. Sean Hannity serves up the quotes several times a week.

the pressure they face from belligerent nation.

A good example of that is Clinton:

January 13, 1993: As Bill Clinton is about to take office, he states: "I am a Baptist. I believe in death-bed conversions. If he [Hussein] wants a different relationship with the United States and the United Nations, all he has to do is change his behavior." (The New York Times, January 14, 1993)

January 14, 1993: In the face of criticism, particularly from The New York Times, that he might lift sanctions and even normalize relations with Iraq, Clinton backtracks: "There is no difference between my policy and the policy of the present Administration.... I have no intention of normalizing relations with him."

It's a little known fact that we told Saddam that getting rid of WMDs would not let him off the hook. That is most likely the reason he kept bluffing.
