This just amplifies the fact that Bush misled the public so much that they associate anything with Iraq and WMD with his lies, and then can cite them a year or 2 later as the key pieces of information (false or otherwise) that they remember.
Whether or not the "reason" to go to war with Iraq was solely WMDs, it can't be disputed that WMDs were the "reason" that Bush had so much support. Even the Democrats gave their support because of the threat that Bush told us about WMDs. They wouldn't have otherwise. Rove knew it, so that's why WMDs were made such a big deal. They still are. Because without them, we wouldn't be short 1000 young men in this country, and 10,000 people in another.
