He never said his aim was to take out an "active WMD program"; rather, as Bush repeatedly told the world audience, Saddam possessed old WMD, desired to evade inspections so as to keep them, hoped to restart his weapons program in the future and pass weapons to terrorist groups with intention to harm the West.

You should watch Colin Powell's presentation to the UN Security Council where he not only says they have an active program, but he points out buildings and locations we believed at the time were actively producing chemical and biological weapons.
