This is a not an ideal format for lengthy discussion, but leaving aside the first comment (not disagreeing, just complicated), your second point is essentially correct. We found lots of WMDs, but no WMD program, which is an important distinction.

The amount they found and their condition caused multiple experts to note that they didn't think they could still be called "WMDs". A local hazard, certainly, but the capability for "mass destruction" just wasn't there. And the Hussein government itself probably didn't even know they existed..

Even even having a full blown WMD production capability was not enough to justify the war, but even the Bush admin couldn't argue that the existence of chemical weapons justified it.
