LOL --though I didn't know any of this was about changing people minds.
Anyway, Saddam is a shrewd fellow. He has been "playing" the international community for decades. The ease that the US troops went in to Baghdad, and the apparent post conflict plan of Saddam, is obvious. Play the Bart (or OJ) Simpson "I didn't do it" card. "WMD.. . what WMD. . .you can't prove a thing."
To say Saddam would have used WMD on the Coalition forces. (if he had them) is silly. Unlike his own people that he gassed; the Coalition forces have bigger WMD called Nukes. If Saddam is to "win" he needs to survive, and have Iraq survive. . .and hope he can gain the moral high ground.
Piss'n off th US (more) by using WMD wouldn't have gained him, or Iraq, much in the way of survival.
Not to worry, what happened to Saddams WMD *will* be found out. What happened to Saddam will be found out. THEN we can say if Bush et al over stated, or not. Those whom are saying Bush DID overstate are premature, at best.
