Evidently, you just want to cut and paste what suits you from your links. I actually read them.
"U.S. President George W. Bush spoke to the United Nations on Thursday morning, forcefully urging it to compell Iraq to comply with Security Council directives on weapons of mass destruction."
CNN.com - President Bush's address to the United Nations - September 12, 2002
"Eleven years ago, as a condition for ending the Persian Gulf War, the Iraqi regime was required to destroy its weapons of mass destruction, to cease all development of such weapons, and to stop all support for terrorist groups. The Iraqi regime has violated all of those obligations. It possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons. It has given shelter and support to terrorism, and practices terror against its own people. The entire world has witnessed Iraq's eleven-year history of defiance, deception and bad faith. "
President George W. Bush's Address Regarding Iraq
The other links were dated after bush started his war, so of course they didn't mention the non-existent WMD's. bush had already re-defined his original objectives by that time.
