Absolutely true, but also absolutely besides the point.  Having weapons and 
saying that you will use them is.  Making people believe you have weapons and 
then saying that you will use them is.  Saddam did not just have or make people 
believe he had the weapons, he said that he would use them.  Indeed he did use 
them at a prior time and place.
