Saddam used chemical weapons during the Al-Anfal campaign, chemical weapons* where never disputed by anyone paying attention. The controversial aspect is whether he had (or was attempting to obtain) nuclear weapons and whether he was capable of using them against the west.
*The chemical weapons that we sold him, just for the record
Actually, I did not understand it that way. It was WMD. That the Secretary of State did that horrid presentation did indicate that nukes were a problem. But they were never the only or even main reason.
