WMDs were the decisive reason

When Dr. Pipes says that the U.S. had the RIGHT to make war on Iraq in the light of its refusal to honor its 1991 commitments, he is entirely correct. I diagree however, with his point that that was the actual REASON the U.S. went to war. The existence or near-future development of WMDs was unquestionably the decisive reason, not only in Bush's speeches, but in the attitude of the public in supporting the war.

I strongly support Bush's war policy. ..
