Blame saddam if no WMD are found, not Bush.
Saddam had over a decade to prove he had completely abandoned any hopes for develping WMD. He never did.
As a result, western intelligence agencies were forced to formulate a picture of what Saddam was capable of doing, always assuming the worst possible case. Just because Saddam was too incompetant to actually develop what we thought he could does not mean there was not threat.
If a cop stops you and you reach inside your jacket and refuse to show your hands, the cop must assume you're going for a weapon. If you get shot, it's your fault, not the cops.
Of course, many people don't see it that way.
