Rumsfeld made it very clear that if Iraq used WMDs against our troops that we would be justified to use any means necessary (including nuclear weapons) to put them down. This would most likely involve heavy civilian casualties, which is something that Saddam would be seen as responsible for.
As Dragonlich says, the burden of proof was not on us, but on Iraq to prove that they indeed destroyed their WMDs and didn't just ship them off to another country or bury them in the sand. The war on Iraq should have been ended 12 years ago.
