I keep saying it didn't matter. If you had credible Intel or not so credible Intel that Iraq as a nation who had just attacked another nation was trying to acquire them. Wouldn't you simply remove that threat rather then wait until they do.
The actual facts are Syria, Libya all had WMDs. So do other nations in the region not disclosed. Others may have other nations protection. Where are American bases these at times might have capacity. Iraq had some biological weapons regardless.
The entire non WMDs, was simply a presumed change in policy. Withdraw not. To go back in ISIS. All it did was offer the good cop. Because the bad cop had done that.
Of course conspiracy has seized on it and we have since been flooded with apologists, and phobists. But it's not like it wasn't, inevitable. It was simple causality.
