We faught a war based on the evidence then not now. The evidence then was that Saddam had WMD in the past, was not cooperating, and we had evidence they still had them. Between the time that argument was made at the UN and the end of the war there was plenty of time for Saddam to destroy and further hide WMD. To ignore both Saddam's failure to cooperate with inspections, mobile labs, and the massive amount of chemical weapons protective equipment found to claim that current data is conclusive evidence he had already complied is hardly a well supported argument. The mobile weapons factory alone are strong evidence he was not in complience.

A lot of Europeans don't seem to get this, but you haven't eliminated a WMD program even if you've destroyed all your stockpile if you can readily make more.
