That's my own personal opinion tho. I believe this guy.

I don't remember how the media reported on it (Fox compared to others), but I think they all claim it was a lie now. Even Trump.

That was the Fox/Hannity line. 

Instead of using WMDs to defend himself, Saddam gave them to his mortal enemy, Assad in Syria. Of COURSE he would do that!

Makes much better drama than the boring old narrative he was not producing new weapons.   

There is no reputable evidence that chemical weapons used in Syria have come from Iraq, at least if we are talking about those deployed by Assad. it is certainly possible that ISIS and like groups may have found and attempted to use some old mustard gas shells.
