We said we knew where they were, not just that they had them.
Members of the Administration have flat-out said WMDs were used to sell the war to the public. There were other, less marketable reasons for invading Iraq.
It's just too bad those reasons weren't put into the public discussion, instead of all the fearmongering about Saddam's nuclear and chemical stockpiles, which has been proven to be BS.

I didn't understand why he didn't just use arguments from people like Christopher Hitchens and focus hard on Saddam's intent to build a serious WMD program-- easily provable arguments. I didn't understand why he thought he needed to hard sell this. We had more good reasons now than in 1991, and Americans were all supportive of the war.
