You left out the fact that we know (knew) that Hussein repeatedly stymied the weapons inspectors who were sent to ascertain whether the WMD continued to exist.

Had Hussein allowed the inspections to continue apace from when they started in teh mid-1990s (or however long ago it was), rather than continually shucking jiving/dodging and weaving, it would not have come to the point it did, with the US saying "this is bullshit, he's had his chance(s)."

Blix never found WMD in the places suggested by U.S. intelligence. After a little of that, you can see how he started to question the intelligence. Apparently we never did.
