Actually, as I recall, you went to war because Saddam didn't comply with the relevant UN resolutions, which banned *any and all* WMDs. The US government tried to get public support by claiming that he had tons of dangerous WMDs; this does not mean that that was the *reason*, I'd say it was merely the method of gaining support.
This claim of imminent danger seemed reasonable at the time. There were many questions remaining about hundreds or even thousands of tons of WMD material, and little or no cooperation from Saddam to answer those questions.
