Answer 1

"After 9/11, President Bush argued that a man like Saddam Hussein could not be trusted with WMDs."

Explanation: The Bush administration’s main publicly stated justification was that Iraq possessed (or was developing) weapons of mass destruction and might give them to terrorists. Claims that Saddam masterminded 9/11 or that most nations wanted to invade were not accurate.
