The existence of these weapons was merely window dressing as a pretext to war. The problem was that Iraq was not in compliance with the inspections program that they had agreed to which would allow the U.N. to monitor the situation. Without unimpeded inspections the U.N. inspectors could not verify compliance with the disarmament terms. In fact, Kay has testified that Iraq was not in compliance on the disarmament terms either. The only sticking point is that weapons of mass distruction, the window dressing, have not been located subsequent to the war.

Of course our liberal friends will not allow that fact to go unnoticed even though they gave a pass to Clinton in the Balkans over the claims of hundreds of thousands of victims of genocide, which, BTW, has been found in Iraq.

So, in essence, war was waged because the inspectors didn't find nor Saddam did reveal WMD that he didn't have. Am I interpreting your statement correctly?
