He claimed that Iraq provided support for al-Qaeda and was dangerous because it possessed weapons of mass destruction
Explanation:
Bush and his administration had set their sights on Iraq and invading it and they made several claims to support their invasion. Some of the claims were that Iraq is supporting al-Qaeda, and that the country is developing weapons of mass destruction.
In practice, the situation was different, and the claims made by Bush were totally false. While Saddam Hussein was indeed a dictator and cruel leader that also opposed the United States, he did not supported al-Qaeda, as al-Qaeda wanted to take over the country if presented with the opportunity and create an Islamic Caliphate. Also, the UN representatives that were sent in Iraq and got full access to everything in the country, did not found any proof that the country has or produces weapons of mass destruction.
