Huh, it was clear that Iraq was no threat at the time. And that is not after-knowledge either. There is plenty of evidence that they knew that there were no weapons of mass destruction, nor any intent of using those. It was not about Iraqi freedom/protection either. In other countries, there were people in more important threats and problems. There was also way to little planning on what to do after the invasion.
The response of these leaders on the situation were, at the least, incompetent.
