None of this had anything to do with evidence of WMD -- it had to do with being held accountable to the UN. Do keep in mind, there were absolutely no WMDs and no active programs. The one grey area was on missile programs, but even here the case was extremely weak. Bush et al assumed there would be something to retroactively hang their hat on -- and there was nothing -- a big zero. The assertion that we invaded Iraq to rid Iraq of WMD is the big lie -- and the big lie was the pretext for war, not its cause. The pretext turned out to be so completely and obviously empty that it was swept under the carpet as the reason for invading Iraq.
