b. weapons of mass destruction had been found in iraq.
c. saddam hussein was innocent and had committed no crimes.
d. saddam hussein had been a popular leader who was loved by the iraqi citizens.

Answer 1

The Bush administration admitted that the arguments for invading Iraq, primarily the existence of weapons of mass destruction, were incorrect as none were found after the invasion.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the capture and subsequent execution of Saddam Hussein, the Bush administration faced criticism as it became evident that the justifications for invading Iraq were not substantiated by evidence. In particular, the belief that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) was a central argument for the invasion, yet after thorough searches, no such weapons were found. The administration's claims of WMDs had been greatly overstated and, despite initial belief in their existence, the world eventually learned that the intelligence had been flawed or misinterpreted.
