I'm just going to take on 2 points here, as a full rebuttal could take all night (not to mention that Daddy has to make sure not to get his pressure up).

Not so fast! Ever heard of Hussein Kamel?
Hussein Kamel, son-in-law of Saddam Hussein, defected to the US in 1995. Is this ringing a bell?
Kamel was widely praised after his defection for providing the US with evidence of weapons Saddam possessed that the US had no knowledge of. Great guy, that Kamel.
Until... he told us that the WMD we sought had been destroyed, on his order, back in 1991 to keep weapons inspectors from finding them. The chicken hawks didn't want to listen to him then. He conflicted with their carefully constructed rationale for invasion.
General Saati, of the Iraqi army backs up everything Kamel said, but since we've had him in solitary confinement, we're not able to hear too much from him lately.
So that's two highly placed members of Saddam's government saying in no uncertain terms that the weapons we sought had been destroyed, not to mention our utter failure to find any, all the while professing that we know right where they are.
You have evidence. You just don't choose to believe it.

Sovereignty
To borrow a line from the Princess Bride - "You keep using that word and I do not think you know what it means"
