It was all about Halleburton and Cheney.
See he needed a heart and Bush needed a brain and then along came Odumbo with neither a heart or a brain or a spine.

It couldn't be because he "didn't" hold a US pilot for months after the cease fire. Do you think it was the plan to assassinate George H.W. Bush? Couldn't be that. Hussein was a real sweety wasn't he Eva.

Wrong again.
The Huffington Post reported what the book says. And you miss the point that few thought there were WMDs so they guessed according to available information. In my opinion, we would have looked less like assholes if those guesses would have been right.
If the reasons were as petty as claimed, all of our wounded, the people maimed and killed by IEDs, etc. were betrayed by their "leaders".

And it sure puts Bush landing on an aircraft carrier to a "Mission Accomplished" banner in a different light. Because he did accomplish his mission to kick ass. At our soldier's expense.
