Aside from the fact that I definitely feel my analysis stands as a relative matter (because Bush and I obviously trusted Saddam less), I'd like to see you back up with any good link, the notion that "NO amount of weaponizable chemical or biological materials were found in Iraq after our invasion."

That's just hugely false. Plenty of "weaponizeable" materials were indeed found by all accounts I'm aware of.

Saddam's ability to defend his country, specifically Baghdad as you noted, has nothing to do with his terrorism capabilities, and so does not reflect at all on what level of a threat he was to America. Al Qaeda hasn't the means to gather to defend a city either, so far as we know, yet by your false logic we'd therefore conclude that Al Qaeda was no threat to America. This is a HUGE problem with the argument made by the anti-Iraq war left, that Saddam was not a threat to America.

I certainly hope you see the error you make.

The "reason the Bush Administration concluded otherwise" was because they believed he was a threat, and surely they were correct. It was not because they relied on hearsay and innuendo, it was because they relied on very true and clear evidence of Saddam's very bad deceitful, revengeful nature, and his support of terrorism. That they wanted to take him out is understandable, and frankly, after 911 it became MORE than understandable, and still is.
