1. Al Zarqawi was in Iraq.
2. Because Hussein kicked out weapons inspectors on several occasions and did not dispose of his documented stockpile of WMD's in the manner provided for by various UN resolutions it is not unreasonable to assume that he still had WMD's in Iraq at the time. Actually, it would've been irresponsible to think otherwise.
3. It took 17 UN security council resolutions and the subsequent disregard/violation of each of them for the US government to attempt the use of force in Iraq.
I'm not happy with the way this thing has played out at all. The planning for post-invasion operations and transition to a new Iraqi rule has been horrnedous. However, to say that the administration LIED about WMD's in Iraq or Saddam's threat level or Al-Qaeda's presence there is just flat out wrong.

I wasn't directed my anger at you, only Hoz.
The only out I see for saying the Bush administration wasn't lying is that they are too dumb to tie their own shoelaces.
The UN said there were no WMD. This CIA agent said there were no WMD. The biggest fool who let on there were WMD, was Saddam. The only reason I can fathom for this is it was a macho thing and he needed to be feared by his enemies.
