Hussam Mohammed Amin has been described as having the most impossible job in Iraq before the U.S. invasion in March 2003. The major general was responsible for overseeing the compilation of a massive volume of data showing that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, a conclusion the Bush administration did not want to hear because that was their original justification for launching the war. As it  turned out, the information Amin provided turned out to be completely true, as U.S. inspectors discovered once they combed the Iraq unsuccessfully for signs of chemical, biological and nuclear munitions.
