2. No WMD were ever found. Nothing. Zero. No evidence that even existed.


Actually, not true - quite a bit of radioactive material from Iraq's reactor project in the 1980's was found and removed. No doubt that can be used as a very effective WMD. The problem was, it wasn't weaponized, and the bigger problem was, it wasn't what was promised.

Iraq had a chemical weapons program. There has never been any argument that it was used in the Iraq-Iran war. It was deployed and authorized in the first Gulf War to "defend" Baghdad (whatever that means). Most people would reasonably assume a dictator like Saddam wouldn't easily give up such toys; unfortunately, we also expect that decisions to go to war be made on somewhat stronger footing than what "most people would reasonably assume".
