So your contention is that they believed Saddam had WMD's because Bush told them so?

I'm surprised you haven't heard this before. I thought it was made pretty clear that current proclamations, from both parties, were based on information gathered and disseminated by the administration.
This has always been my understanding of the situation.
I can't speak to statements before 2000. I was under the impression that most people felt that containment was working; that is, most weapons were destroyed, much of what was left was unusable, and the remainder was being sorted out by inspectors.
