You are demonstrating a shocking lack of logic. Let's boil your statement down to its essence. "the simplest explanation for anyone doing anything is whatever they tell you the reason is."
In fact, according to your interpretation of Occam's razor, if Occam's razor is to be taken as a valid postulation, lying cannot exist.
I don't buy it
In fact, I would argue that a simpler reason for going to war than the one Bush gave us is that "Bush wanted to."

You are in correct that we found nothing. To date we have located:
- Mass graves of civilians murdered by Saddam's regime.

You can find these in North Korea, China, Haiti, etc etc etc. Why did we go after Iraq and not one of these?
Quote:
- Rape and torture rooms Saddam & Sons used to terrorize their subjects.

You can find THESE in dozens of countries as well.
Plus, this and the bit about mass graves is irrelevant. Bush said we were going to war because Saddam had WMD's. You can rape and kill all the people you want without necessarilly having WMD's. You are suggesting that because he is guilty of these two crimes, he must be guilty of what we accuse him of. Your logic here suggests that I am a murderer because I once got a speeding ticket.

- Small amounts of WMDs which are proof of violation of the UN resolutions.

Please cite your sources, because the "small amounts of WMD's" to which I assume you refer are defunct, non-functional remnants of a time in which Saddam was not forbidden to have them.

And ignoring the fact that the proof is fabricated doesn't make it true.
