As Trump has said, invading Iraq was a waste of trillions of dollars and thousands of lives. As a new US Army study concludes, the winner was Iran. As Trump points out, Saddam was a check on Iran, and Bush stupidly took him out

No, we went because Saddam tried to assassinate GHW Bush, according to the Inspector General's Report.

No, actually for more than a decade the international community monitored, inspected and reviewed a long list of weapons and facilities, all the way up to just prior to the initiation of OIF. Where’d all that hardware and capability go to? Surely it was there, surely it remained.....or was moved Just ask those who actually sifted through the rubble and hidey-holes. Plus, review the reports of the convoys routing to SYR in the early days, and the recovery and sale/disposal of some 20 MT of Yellowcake. Pesticide/herbicide mobile production units for agricultural use my patooty!
