Question

What accusation was given by President Bush as a reason for invading Iraq but later proved false?

Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

Answer 1

Bush claimed Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

Answer 2

President Bush accused that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Iraq War began with the invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003, carried out by a coalition of countries led by the United States and the United Kingdom. The war ended when the last American soldiers left Iraq on December 18, 2011.

The coalition, led by President Bush, said the military operation aimed to overthrow Saddam Hussein's regime, which was oppressing the Iraqi people, supporting international terrorism, and developing, keeping and deploying weapons of mass destruction. To date, no such weapons have been found, nor has any association with Al Qaeda been shown.
