The funny thing is Bush never said "we have to go to war to find saddam's WMDs"
Also, it was never proposed that the WMDs were the sole reason for the war. The WMD focus has been put out by the press and the leftists as an unmeetable test.
If Saddam had the stuff, you don't think he would give Bush the vindication by leaving it around do you? Saddam followed US politics closely, and knew how to manipulate the media better than almost anyone.
Nobody disputes that he had WMD in the past (ask the residents of Halabja if Saddam had WMD)
Whether he actually had them are not isnt terribly relevant now (unless your motive is to make cheap political shots), but we had every reason to believe he did based on past behavior and current intelligence.
