You actually believe that?  No, the objective in Iraq was regime change, not just to destroy the "WMDs", and certainly not just to destroy nukes.  Even those that believed in the WMDs believed that they were chemical weapons, and chemical weapon production facilities are far easier to hide than nuclear weapon production facilities.

No, the reason to go into Iraq was to get rid of Saddam Hussein and get out of the sanctions that were a humanitarian disaster and also were becoming politically untenable, and to control what kind of government succeeded him.

If I read this right, you assumed that GWB was lying from day one, yet you seem OK with that.  Why?  It goes against your libertarian memes in a big way.
