You admit that Saddam had WMD's, my next question is, Where are they now? Are chemical and biological weapons something that can be disposed of easily? Would they be so quick about doing so after milions of $$$ and decades to acqire them and develop them? They must be some where if they had them in the first place. Right?

Actually many of these weapons have short half lives. The chemicals break down, become unstable. A 15 year old chemical weapon might not even give you a cold.

Again, if, just one person pointed out to where a thimble full of stuff was, I could accept that we might be missing something here. We have over a hundred thousand boots on the ground, Saddam is captured, his sons dead, and a lottery ticket with the mega number for just one person who comes forward with the goods. Just don't hold your breath.

Personally, I believe the unaccounted for VX and botumilin (SP!) are still hidden and buried somewhere.  In fact, they could fit into a two car garage.  However, I don't think S/H was capable of quickly manufacturing any new WMDs, not for lack of trying though.
 
Either way, rock solid proof of massive stockpiles of WMDs was never one of the stated reasons for going to war.  It's only after months and months of the media pounding away at that lie has it become part of the landscape.

Bio-weapons are extremely easy to dispose of ---just throw them in the back yard garbage fire, which is what the Iraqis do every day with their garbage anyway ---your next door neighbor could talk to you over the fence while you do it and have no idea what you're up to.
