Go to the White House on the net and get Bush's speech which, after 2 years, admitted there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The UN told Bush that before the invasion but he ignored them!

The White House ends the hunt for weapons of mass destruction, the main justification for the Iraq war.
The hunt for biological, chemical and nuclear weapons in Iraq has come to an end nearly two years after President George Bush ordered US troops to disarm Saddam Hussein.
The top CIA weapons hunter is home, and analysts are back at Langley, Virginia.
Officials who served with the Iraq Survey Group said the violence in Iraq, coupled with a lack of new information, led them to fold up the effort just before Christmas.
Four months after Charles Duelfer, who led the weapons hunt in 2004, submitted an interim report to the US Congress that contradicted nearly every prewar assertion about Iraq made by top Bush Administration officials, a senior intelligence official said the findings will stand as the survey group's final conclusions and will be published this northern spring

CHILL AT U.N.: President defends Iraq policy to polite but firm criticism

President Bush strongly defended the U.S. invasion of Iraq before the United Nations Tuesday, getting a polite but steely response as world leaders warned that his go-it-alone policies could undermine the international organization.
The president came to the U.N. General Assembly in New York hoping to secure greater international support for the U.S.-led occupation as well as commitments of troops and financial aid. Based on the reaction to his speech, including open criticism from U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and French President Jacques Chirac, he got few if any takers.
Seeking to set aside past differences over America's decision to go to war without U.N. authorization, Bush told the assembled delegates that "the nation of Iraq needs and deserves our aid. And all nations of goodwill should step forward and provide that support."
But Chirac, addressing the assembly after Bush had spoken, strongly criticized the president's decision to wage war unilaterally, calling it "one of the gravest trials" in U.N. history and saying it "undermined the multilateral system."
