There were other reasons for the war to oust the Saddam regime than weapons of mass destruction which were clearly stated before the war took place. These were Iraqs' links to Al Qaeda with Iraq being accussed of actively helping that terrorist group. Iraqs persecution of the Kurds and the Marsh Arabs. Iraqs' threats against Israel. Iraqs' appalling human rights record in which hundreds of thousands of people had been executed, tortured and forced to flee Iraq as refugees. The WMD crisis came after Iraq expelled United Nations Weapons in December 1998 after years of hampering them in their work.

There were indeed other reasons for invading iraq. Oil and power projection to name but 2.

By the way, I think you will find that the UN inspectors were withdrawn rather than expelled.

War 'Expert' has neatly summarised all the outright lies Bush told.

No WMD

VERY spurious evidence of links to Al Qaeda

Crude forgeries detailing the false attempts to buy Nigerian nuclear material

The aluminium tubes stated as evidence of a nuclear programme were unlikely to be useful for that

No evidence of the mobile weapons laboratories

Dodgy claims by Khidir Hamza used to justify war (while ignoring the fact he also stated that any WMD programmes were dismantled in early 90's as a result of UN weapons inspections)

Weapons inspectors infiltrated by the CIA then withdrawn (by the US) because Saddam insisted on them sticking to the UN agreement for weapons inspection - i.e. sites sensitive to national pride subject to an inspection by only two inspectors, followed up by a full team should they deem it necessary. As Saddam objected to CIA spies looking round the palaces and the Americans refused to allow only two inspectors to go in to make a preliminary inspection, the Bush regime used it as an excuse to withdraw the inspectors.

I don't think anybody is disputing that Saddam Hussein was a very bad man but it's far from proved that he was a real danger to anybody apart from the Iraqis (which the US was quite willing to ignore while it suited their purposes).

Oh, and the western sanctions of Iraq probably killed more people that Saddam did.

All the fuss about WMD's is a bit rich coming from the country that funded him and is still the only country to have used atomic weapons in aggression.

If "war expert" is an actual expert in anything other than talking crap on IMC then I'm the editor of Jane's Defence Weekly.
