One explanation I have heard is that we may not have gotten all of the WMD. If we told the world that there were goodies lying around in Iraq to this very day, bad people might go there and get their hands on stuff. So, we pretend that there isn't anything, and we hope that no one goes and looks.
I do not find this at all convincing, but it is one reason I have seen as to why we never made a loud claim about finding Saddam's stash.

There is also the story that WMDs did make it out of Iraq. And the world population at large, would be better off not knowing.
Either way, Bush was going to be blamed. Either for there not being WMD's from the start, or that he didn't do enough to stop them from getting out.
"IF" they did make it out, would people be happy knowing where they might be???
Especially when one considers what is happening in that exact area today.
