The problem with the WMD theory was there was no solid evidence to back it up, in fact all the solid evidence pointed the other way.
He did have them, he used them and he was an evil man.
But from that it was decided with no solid evidence that he still had them and was very likely to use them. What this theory was based on was peoples imagination.
The country was starving, the oil embargo was severely restricting revenue. But Saddam and his friends were building vast palaces that cost a fortune. WMDs are not cheap nor easy to build, so where was the evidence that he had them?
A drawing of what a mobile lab would look like, is not evidence.
As for politicians, they will say anything that will get the votes. The truth is not always the best thing to say when you have a scare monger screaming about a non existant danger and you're trying to get elected.
