Why is this such a sticking point with some people? Bush went by the intelligence brought to him, and this was processed over the last decade of Saddam's deceit of the UN. So mabe Bush should have presented his case to the public more on the side that we needed to remove Hussein of power because he was in fact an evil dicator rather than WMDs. Whether we find any now or not is pretty much a moot point. Hussein is finished, the regime is toast, and the speed at which we captured him and his goons surprised alot of people. The world is a safer place now...... we know he was actively looking for them and in the future would have used them. So even if none are found, I think the operation was a success if for anything it was preventive maintainace.
Because the intelligence received may have been biased by political pressure.
