The entire world thought Saddam had WMDs. the UN, the French, the German, Israelis, the English, the Russians, etc....
Clinton and Gore both assumed him had WMDs, and spoke about it while they were in office.
Bush beleived it, and acted upon it. History wil decide if there was ever any WMDS, or if they were hidden, destoryed or moved to Syria.
Bush did the right thing based on the information he had, based on the information the WORLD had.
OF course this war could have been averted if Saddam would had let inspectors in unfettered - even Saddam thought he had a WMD program, at least that is what he actions showed.
Things could have been different if the Russians and French would have back resolution for force at UN. Saddam thought that the Russiand and French would keep the US out of Iraq..... even up to the last days before the invasion.
Funny how the democrats on the 9-11 commission and the media keep trumpeting how the Bush administration in power for 9 months did not connect the dots and prevent this attack.
Yet when all the dots were connected in Iraq - Saddam has WMDS ( as the world beleived), Saddam would not back down and allow inspectors, etc.. etc... and strong action was taken, Bush gets blamed for lying by the same people.
