But there was WMD. It's called Hallabja. That was the town in 1988 where Saddam dropped chemical weapons killing 5,000 people.
from PBS.org Frontline:
An estimated 5,000 people died in Halabja from the lethal mix of mustard gas, sarin and VX nerve agent dropped on the town. Thousands of others have died from long–term medical complications from the bombings, and the town has seen a huge spike in birth defects, cancer, infertility and miscarriages. The attacks, which were ordered by “Chemical” Ali Hassan al–Majid, mark the only time since the Holocaust that poison gas has been used to kill women and children. Photographs document the slaughter. At the time, the United States largely ignored Iraq’s use of weapons of mass destruction, and vetoed U.N. efforts to condemn Iraq for their use. Though the bombing occurred during the notorious Anfal campaign against the Kurds, the Halabja attack is usually considered a separate case because it occurred outside of the Anfal’s “prohibited zones.” Experts have referred to Halabja as a war crime and a crime against humanity.

Hey the guy wasn't even white. Do you actually think a Texas President would care.
Texas kills more people than any other State. Bush signed so many death warrants as Governor he lost count.
Saddam is just another dead guy to Bush.

Saddam was executed for crimes he committed against the Iraqi people in accordance with Iraqi Law
I question the necessity for the war to continue, but have no remorse for Saddam or his regime

Saddam was not executed because of WMD - he was executed for crimes against humanity.
