This is just to explain to Ironweed. My time is certainly too valuable to get back into this with the rest.
Blix had said the day the invasion began he was certain we would find WMD. The UN maintained sanctions that were starving Iraq, although making the Blix family, the Hussein family and certain French and Germans rich. The reason for the sanction were that Saddam had WMD once and would not show that he got rid of them.
Ty will quote a US general who told Bush "We have not found any" as proof that no one believed they were there.
The above is all anyone really needs to know to reach the answer. That the Dems reach the answer they do (or in Kerry's case one of the answers he does) is why there will not be a Democratic President anytime soon.
