Paul Wolfowitz disagrees with you. He said WMD was the reason everyone could agree on. The problem was UN support. The UN would only support the action if it was because of WMD (not because Saddam was an evil dictator), so that's what the administration pushed.

We needed UN support because Blair needed UN support. We needed Blair. We needed Blair because we needed the UK's special forces. We needed the UK's special forces because they had the experience on the ground there, the contacts and the language down pat in the numbers neccessary.

We didn't need it because of Powell, as some claim.
