Completely ridiculous sir. WMD was the MAJOR Reason we went to war. Not Humanitarian, not because Sadaam was a bad guy, not over 9/11 - though Bush hinted at that strongly as well. Complete GOP talking point spin eater and spouter.

Really, why don't you read Bush's speech he made on prime time national TV when he laid out the case to the American people prior to the war. Bush's case for war was:

1. Saddam's support of terrorists including Al Qeada.
2. Stopping Saddam before he becomes an imminent threat with WMD.
3. Saddam's refusal to live up to the Peace Agreement and UN resolutions.
4. Saddam's a ruthless dictator who brutalizes his own people.

Bush's case was NOT that Saddam was an imminent threat to use WMD. That is a complete lie made up by the media.

No sir! The main reason we took out Saddam and Iraq was to enforce the UN resolution(s). We gave him 17 chances and he screwed the pooch on every one.
