I think W genuinely believed it was the correct thing to do . Now Cheney on the other hand I think did it cause it was a good way to further expand the unitary executive authority theory

If any of you actually read a biography on him, you would know option one is the right answer.

But even if Saddam DID have WMDs, it didn't automatically follow that he was a threat to the U.S.  As someone said, the U.S. saying it was afraid of Saddam was like if Mike Tyson had said he was scared of Steve Urkel.  

Suddam having WMD's would have violated his surrender agreement from the Gulf War
