Let's see:
IMO, and many others, Hussein was not right in the head.
Iraq had a chem and bio program and was trying to restart nuclear.
He had documented chem and bio when the inspectors left in 1998.
He had used said weapons before, both on a foreign country (Iran) and his own citizens.
He would be pleased by our downfall.
A group of terrorists are intent on our downfall.
Chem and bio weapons would help this group bring about our downfall, and they are looking for such means.
America now knows it is no longer safe due to distance, lax immigration, porous borders, etc.
I am President and I am presented with this. I am given a few scenarios:
a) Hussein won't do anything, he is scared of us and world opinion.
b) He won't help this group of terrorists, he is secular, and they feel the same.
c) There is a good chance, not 100%, but say 90%, that these 2 are already in contact with each other, and we know one has/had recently what the other wants...
I have to try and make the whole world go along with this, so I can get it through my government to keep my country safe.
Think...think...think... I KNOW!
Hussein has violated Resolution after Resolution of the Security council, they'll have to agree with that.. I'll be able to protect America before the threat is imminent, and the world will agree with such blatant disregard by Hussein of the international resolutions of the UN...

You miss the point. The main reason for the attack on Iraq was to create a "counterweight" to Saudi Arabia. Wolfowitz was honest enough to emphasize this before the war before he was slapped down. The claim that a two bit medieval dicator like Hussein was a national security threat is laughable and I don't think that even the administration took it too seriously.
