I do not read an "insinuation". WMD's was only one of multiple reasons for taking down Saddam...and probably not at the top of the list of reasons. WMD's were touted by the Admin (but it was not the only reason presented)...and there may have been a massive intel failure (certainly would not be the first time)...and that possibility is still being investigated.
