Saddam was cheating on the UN requirements of destroying his WMDs, that is certainly a fact.
If every country had to follow the UN mandates or be invaded, we would be at perpetual war.
There does not seem to be any NEW or VIABLE WMDs in Saddam's recent ruling past that would have had any strategic value. The only value would have been for terrorism uses.
Bush made his assertions, and much of his "case for war" on what would seem to be new or viable threats from WMDs that had strategic importance. We have not found those yet, or at least this has not been disclosed.
If the Bush military machine allowed such weapons to escape to Iran or Syria, then that could be a strategic mistake for future developments--especially with our troops between the two.
