If nothing else, Saddam himself was a weapon of mass destruction - just from the shear numbers of people he was responsible for killing. Now that he's in custody a lot more will be known and Dean will be........

That doesn't count. Not in the meaning that Bush had for concrete weapons of mass destruction.

There was plenty of evidence that there was wmd's in Iraq. They even admitted to having anthrax at one point. Hell, even Clinton bombed them for being bitches at one point. There's a lot of talk about Bush being a liar, I think people are still mad about that whole DNA evidence on a fat girls dress thing.

There were WMD there, up to at least Operation Desert Fox, which many Republicans call a "Wag the Dog" but actually, by best accounts destroyed upwards of 95% of all the weapons there. But that was many years ago. All the real experts, such as Scott Ritter (Republican, voted Bush in '00) Say that Saddam had little to no weapons left.
We spent 9 months already looking for the weapons with no results. 120k in soldiers and they have found nothing at all.
The best explanation is Saddam kept up the bluster of him still having some WMD to keep Iran afraid. They were still major enemies and if Iran thought that they were defenseless then they would have attacked.
