Yet even in early 2003, shortly before the war started, he had not issued a report to the UN concluding that there were likely no WMD. Rather, he simply asked for more time.

If you accord no weight whatsoever to Hussein's continued avoidance of inspections, then, yeah, the intelligence at the time might not support an invasion or any action whatsoever. But, that's not how things were: Hussein for 12 years had stymied things. That's not how a leader with nothing to hide acts.
