How many times does it have to be repeated? It is immaterial, in hindsight, whether or not Iraq had a major WMD program up and running at the time of the invasion (discounting for a moment the very real possibility such devices were shipped to Syria just before the conflict). After 911, it was unacceptable to allow a country, hostile to the U.S. and a threat to its neighbors, that had previously both developed and used WMD, to refuse to allow a full and complete accounting of its nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programs per its surrender terms at the time of the First Gulf War. This was particularly imperative in light of the fact that Iraq was a KNOWN supporter of Islamic terrorist groups, if not Al Queda specifically in regards to the events of 911.

On December 31, did you say to yourself that had you known on the previous January 1 you would suffer no accidents that you would have canceled your car insurance for the year? That makes about the same sense.

..... and not only that, but remember there have been some found with Sarin gas. There could STILL be WMD in Iraq and we just haven't found them yet. Strong suspicion that they were exported to Syria.
And if Uncle Saddam destroyed the weapons, why did the "Genius" not show the evidence to the U.N. ? I'll answer that: he DIDN'T destroy them.
The jury is still out on "no WMD's in Iraq" or where they went to. Just because they're not found yet does not mean they didn't exist.
