Of course, they never did find those nukes that they were looking for, but they did find stockpiles of banned chemical weapons. It's very well documented that Saddam's cousin, who he set up as the governor of Kuwait, used those weapons in an attempt to exterminate everyone of Kurdish heritage in the region.
