3) They found materials for making WMD up until 1997. 6 years after the sanctions had been in place. It was reasonable to assume that there was the possibility that they where still in the country. Plus Saddam had never been completely up front with the UN Inspectors.
4) This is a by product.

1]Maybe I should have said a cheap oil supply.
2]That's my point, another failure. They are losing money because they can't secure the oil production.
3]WMD is pretty much a dead duck. You believe that Bush and his cronies believed there were WMD. Either way they are liars or incompetent. Take your pick.
4] Saddam was rewarding suicide bomber families as an act of terrorism but the scale of terrorism now in Iraq is maybe a 1,000 worse.
Lets put it this way, all the original reasons for the invasion failed and so like a cornered rat they trot out democracy.
