When deciding to retire from Congress in 2012, Dicks said his biggest regret was voting for the Iraq War. "I'm still glad [[Saddam Hussein]] is not there, but I feel we were misled, not intentionally misled, but we were not given accurate information, and if we had known Saddam Hussein did not have [[weapons of mass destruction]], I don't think Congress would even have been asked to vote on that."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2012-03-02|title=18-term Rep.
