Iraq had WMD. 
Iraq refused to provide proof that these WMD (that we all know they had)
were destroyed in accordance with the agreements they signed and the
demands of United Nations. 
Where are they now? 
We don't know. 
Where is SH? 
We don't know. 
But Iraq had a leader whose name was SH. 
And Iraq had WMD. 

The coalition invaded Iraq because of the WMD. 

They certainly had other reasons to invade Iraq, but this was the
principle reason. 

The fact that the weapons can not be found may turn out to be the
justification for the war because it may turn out that SH sold or moved
the weapons prior to the war and they are now in the hands of
terrorists. 

We'll just have to wait and see what shows up. 

Not very comforting.
