Then you're either choosing to not remember, or you were sorely uninformed about the debates leading up to the war. I recall several cases where countries early on tried to challenge the existence of WMD. I'm pretty sure I even gave links here before the war started. What happened though is that the Bush administration controlled the entire playing field. Just like when Kevin Schmidt here stated that anyone who said it was about oil had no credibility, Bush controlled the situation such that any country that tried to say it wasn't about the WMD had no credibility. So in order for _any_ discussion to take place, the countries had to pretend that they agreed that there were WMD. Heck, even Powell early on was publicly unsure of their existence and didn't even support going to war because he was concerned it would destabilize the region.
