Most of the public may have assumed there were WMD, but most of the public didn't get the CIA's briefing, and the White House classified stuff to make sure it stayed that way.

#1 was people knew we hadn't found them in the last X years. This isn't wrong- I knew that Blix hadn't found anything. It isn't irrelevent to your portrait of Bush ignoring a General who said "we haven't found anything."
#2 was everyone assumed he had them. Someone posted a quote where Blix said he assumed sadaam had some. the UN kept sanctions on. Why?
