Bliar knew full well that he couldn't sell 'regime change' so used WMD and a bogus interpretation of the facts to justify a 'threat' to the UK. If he didn't have the testicular fortitude to state openly that his objective was regime change, the U.S. weren't so particular about it:

". . . the [U.S.] Administration maintains that regime change has been declared U.S. policy since November 1998 and remains the desired goal."

Anyone that thought we'd just go in and remove any WMD we happened to find and leave the regime intact must have been in a different war to me. .....................

The OFFICIAL reason for the US war was WMDs - NOT regime change.

Regime Change is against the UN Charter and classed as agressive war and opens up people conducting it to charges of war crimes.
