No, the military wouldn't. There is plenty of evidence of Bush not listening to the military commanders, both at home and on the field. He chose to make the decisions, as commander in chief, that go counter to those under him.
To your second part: Who else would have the 380 tons of explosives, stolen from a warzone?
and: I believe that the senate inquiries handled that. There were no weapons, or programs. Saddam had hopes of building one some day when the sanctions were all gone, but as of our invasion he had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. His lack of proof that he had weapons were intended as a smokescreen to make himself look dangerous to Iraq's enemy, Iran. If Iran knew that they were relatively defenseless, nothing would have stopped Iran from overrunning Iraq and deposing, and killing Saddam.
Have you not been paying attention?
