You seem to have the first GW confused with the second unless that huge number is mostly Iraqi's. The issue is the relative increase in US troups which was significant. He purchased chemical weapons (I'm not sure from whom but know we didn't try to block it) not biological and nuclear. He had his own programs for those. I think he was also working on home grown chemical weapons. It's my understanding that mustard gas isn't all that hard to produce.

It's easy if you aren't biased to see we are currently winning. Troup deaths and civilian deaths are down. Iraqi's have turned against murderous thugs like Al-quieda and Al-Sadr's goons that you deemed freedom fighters. Iragi's now have a functional security force and democracy. These were our goals. Things may go south, but everything we said we wanted is comming to pass despite your claims they were either impossible or false goals.
