But no one knew whether he had them or not. That was kind of the point of inspections. And most of the world wanted those inspections to continue, so we would be acting on something other than a suspicion.

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. It was not simply a "give them more time" issue. 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)."
