You seem to imply that the hunt for WMDs was the only reason given by the Bush administration for the Iraq invasion. That's far from the case. Throughout the build up to the Iraq invasion, Bush pointed to several reasons why we needed to go in. As far as I can remember he never said that WMDs were the ONLY reason to oust Saddam. It was an oft repeated one but there were many others. Non compliance with the weapons agreements, firing at our planes, terrorist training camps, human rights abuses, etc were all mentioned repeatedly as well.
As far as the inconsistencies with regard to foreign relations, can you point to a single President who had a unilateral policy for all countries we have relationships with? Of course not. That's because not all regimes are the same and the way to deal with each is unique.
