Just about any CPU made in the last 20 years can run a missile guidance system. The aerospace industry tends to use really outdated, but well tested and ruggedized, processors. The PR pieces disguised as news about Saddam trying to get PS2s for missile guidance systems were completely ridiculous.
If there was any truth to the claim that Saddam was trying to get PS2s for military purposes, it would have simply been because he was trying to get whatever electronics the embargo would allow him to get, not because PS2s are uniquely suited for running a missile guidance system.
