Here is a Bill Clinton statement after bombing Iraq. He cited Saddam's WMDs as THE major reason why he bombed Iraq:

http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1998/12/16/transcripts/clinton.html

"I want to explain why I have decided, with the unanimous recommendation of my national security team, to use force in Iraq; why we have acted now; and what we aim to accomplish.

[..]

Six weeks ago, Saddam Hussein announced that he would no longer cooperate with the United Nations weapons inspectors called UNSCOM. They are highly professional experts from dozens of countries. Their job is to oversee the elimination of Iraq's capability to retain, create and use weapons of mass destruction, and to verify that Iraq does not attempt to rebuild that capability.

[...]

The international community had little doubt then, and I have no doubt today, that left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again."

But sure, tell me how Democrats were anti-Iraq war. Tell me why I should you believe the "Russian hacker" stories when I was lied to about Iraq WMDs.
