You're just engaging in the same spin the Right used after the justification for war started falling apart. He was a really bad guy, he'd used WMD in the past, he wanted to restart programs after sanctions were lowered etc...etc... all true but not what was presented to the American people.

They claimed Saddam had active programs and was collaborating with al Qaeda. Both items have been dis-proven within an acceptable margin.

Could legacy munitions still be used for improvised devices? Perhaps. Could they also blow up the Mosul Dam or unleash a toxic mess by emptying a refinery into the water system. Sure...anything is possible.
