Iraq had WMD up until 1991, as confirmed by various intelligence reports and investigations, particularly during the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War. However, after the Gulf War in 1991, Iraq was subjected to stringent inspections by United Nations weapons inspectors as part of the disarmament process mandated by UN Security Council resolutions. Iraq's cooperation with UN inspectors varied over time. While there were periods of cooperation, there were also instances of non-compliance and obstruction. This inconsistency in cooperation led to ongoing suspicions and concerns regarding Iraq's compliance with disarmament obligations.
After 1991 the assessments of Iraq's WMD capabilities were influenced by a range of factors, including intelligence reports, inspections findings, and political considerations. Ultimately, the issue of Iraq's alleged possession of WMD and its cooperation with UN inspectors was one of the key factors that led to the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a coalition of countries, although subsequent investigations found no evidence of active WMD programs in Iraq at the time of the invasion. So in summary there’s no clear evidence that the US lied just so they go to war with Iraq.
