"The weapons issue was never a good reason because a) Bush never gave the inspections a chance to work, without even any sign of their obstruction,"

We can debate this for as long as we live and the outcome will be the same....you will lose. There were inspections for over 11 years and Saddam never did abide by U.N. resolutions including the cease fire agreement which stated that he must prove that he destroyed his WMD....which he never did. After 9/11 it was clear that it was no longer time to play games and we had to actually enforcing U.N. resolutions.

"b) Even if they were armed to the teeth, Iraq would be too chicken shit to ever use them because Israel has been looking for the slightest opportunity to beat the crap out of any Arab state to make an example,"

There was never an issue whether or not Iraq would use them. The Bush administration stated that it was worried that those weapons could fall into the hands of terrorists that would sneak them into The United States.


"c) there was never reliable intelligence that showed that they had any WMD in the first place."

It was reliable enough for Clinton to use unilateral action in Iraq in the 90's.
