No WMD have shown up, dont let all the pictures of Iraqi's hugging soldiers make you forget the reason we went in there and that American soldiers died thinking they were going in there to protect our country from WMD and there is none. It was a story.

That's a good point I'll agree. The whole "spin" changed after the war started. We go in there to supposedly protect ourselves from future terrorist attacks and don't find those kinds of tools.
However I will note that one coffee can of some viruses could kill tens of thousands of people so a WMD doesn't just mean some chem-loaded missile or a nuke, it would also be facilities/labs where viruses are produced.
