Yes.
There actually were WMDs but the Bush operation was too incompetent to find it.
Even while occupying the entire country.
Which makes the invasion even stupider.

Oh, they found it. There was just that much of it they couldn’t get to all of it. And it more than WMD’s that Saddam sent to other areas. Tanks, aircraft, and supplies were shipped all over the middle east. They even buried aircraft and tanks just over the border in Syria.
During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, coalition forces discovered dozens of Iraqi fighter jets that had been buried in the sand by Saddam Hussein’s forces in an attempt to hide them from US and allied air superiority. And that included Russian aircraft they had in the inventory, also.

I talked with a returning member of the army, a track commander, for the US and he told me they have picked up some tanks just over the border in Syria through the rangefinder, hailed them, and when no answer came back they fired on them. When no return fire erupted, they went to investigate and found they were buried. About a dozen of them.
Saddam buried a lot of things like that to include underground munitions like mustard gas in artillery shells:
They weren’t supposed to have that either.

According to sources at the time of the Iraqi invasion, the material was moved out of the country to Syria while the whole idea of invading was being discussed at the UN. It was not stupidity, it was timing.
