I see it as the biggest non-issue of the year. The Democrats were looking for anything to critisize and they seized upon the WMDs.
1) There were plenty of other reasons to invade Iraq. Genocide and mass murder being just two that immediately come to mind.
2) Saddam had used WMDs before. No reason to think he had used them all up or wouldn't use them again if he had the chance.
3) With the way Saddam was acting with the inspectors, either Saddam was completely insane or he was hiding them.
4) There is no way US intelligence could know that there were no WMDs. How could any intelligence agency know what exists in every square foot of a country the size of Iraq.
5) During the invasion every level of the military was completely paranoid that Saddam would use them. The US army took unbelievable precautions to prepare for such an attack.
6) Bush and Cheney clearly believed that there were WMDs so no one "lied".
7) There could still be some WMDs out there that are well hidden (Again it is a big country) and they could have been moved to Syria.
