I have a hard time really understanding why that was done.

If that is,in fact,an accurate assessment of the situation it *is* difficult to understand.The only plausible explanation is some enormous issue regarding national security.Or,perhaps,a desire to save himself and/or his father some sort of embarrassment.

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.
