One of the main justifications for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 by the administration of President George W. Bush was the assertion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. No such weapons were found in the years since the war began.

There is evidence that Saddam was seeking such weapons.

A convicted felon out on parole seeking a firearm is still guilty of violating probation even if he doesn't acquire the gun.

Saddam resumed the first Gulf War when he violated the terms of the peace.

And there has not been anything to dispute the claims that weapons may have been smuggled out (to Syria) during the run up to the invasion date.

All it would take is 4-5 semi trailers worth of WMD’s to justify the war. Those truck loads left Iraq before the spring of 2003.
