Answer:

"Feared the use of weapons of mass destruction"

Step-by-step explanation:

This was the official explanation. However, there were no real signs that Iraq had any such weapons. Based on US govt. documents detailing the sale of Iraqi oil fields and a conscious decision to make a foe of Iran, the real reasons seem to have been to control Iraq's oil and to box in Iran.
