Why do you think Saddam got rid of all his weapons? Of course it was the sanctions. that plus the weapons inspectors did the job quite well, and eliminated entirely (yes entirely) the threat from Saddam.
The whole argument is increasingly pointless. It's quite obvious Saddam had no capability at all (at all) to threaten the West. It's time (actually it was time months ago) to give up this tripe about mobile biological factories, phoney Al Qaida links, and all the rest of the bullshit.
Clear it all out, start from what is known now and come up with some conclusions that mean something. It's like playing chess with someone who's losing and won't resign. You know there was no threat, we know you know.
Time to abandon that position and fall back to the next vexatious argument.

Oh the sanctions didn't work? I hadn't noticed that
