✔ Bush believed Saddam and Iraq had WMDs.
✔ Bush argued that Iraq had previously supported terrorist organizations (and the administration alleged links to terrorist groups).
✔ The United States claimed that Iraq was not fully cooperating with UN weapons inspectors.
✖ The United States did not officially claim that Iraq had directly ordered the 9/11 attacks.
Brief note: the WMD and terrorism-link claims were central public justifications for the 2003 invasion. Subsequent investigations found no stockpiled WMDs and no evidence that Iraq directly ordered or planned the 9/11 attacks.
