I agree with your sentiment. The very fact that El Queda is reported to be shopping for nuclear material in Europe is indicative that Saddam either does not have it or is not co-operating with El Queda.

One argument for invading Iraq, besides the domestic political convenience you cited, is the possible alternative site for US troops in the Persian Gulf. The presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia is often cited as the cause for much of the discontent, if we can move our outpost next door to Iraq . . . Though personally, I think malcontents can always find someting to grind their axe . . .
