It makes even less sense when people give us the "clinton thought he had WMDs too".
Clinton did say he thought they did, but seeing as he wasn't going to start a war over it, he didn't make much of an effort to find out (other than the regular intel), whereas bush did and found out that the claims were untrue.
With bush, in 2002, the CIA sent joseph wilson to niger (the country saddam was allegedly buying WMDs from). While there, wilson determined conclusively that there were no WMDs, and reported his findings to the u.s. government. the bush adminstration ignored his statements, and in the 2003 state of the union address bush claimed
"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
He ignored wilson's findings. Moreover, the claim that the british government did find significant quantities was false, as testified by tony blair.
