After going into Iraq and searching for a long amount of time, the United States came up empty handed on any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and called of searching for them: "The search ended almost two years after President Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq, saying intelligence indicated Saddam was building weapons of mass destruction and may have hidden weapons stockpiles". Although we did not find any of the mass weapons that we had expected to find, we remain in Iraq. Why? Because the threat of weapons of mass destruction, although being one of the main reasons, is not the only reason that we had invaded Iraq in the first place. If we were to just leave Iraq after failing to find any of these weapons, the Iraq government would be destroyed, along with the rest of the country and its civilization.
CIA's final report: No WMD found in Iraq
"In his final word, the CIA’s top weapons inspector in Iraq said Monday that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction has 'gone as far as feasible' and has found nothing, closing an investigation into the purported programs of Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the 2003 invasion". After closing investigation on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, it was not time for the United States to leave Iraq yet for multiple reasons. One of the reasons that the United States needed to stay is that even thought there was not a threat of weapons of mass destruction anymore, there was still the threat of Saddam Hussein. He still served different threats including terrorist attacks, armed attacks, and even the possible threat of the building of weapons of mass destruction after the United States stopped searching for them. If the U.S. left Iraq after failing to find any weapons of mass destruction, along with the crash of the Iraqi government, there would be a great threat on the United States and the rest of the world from Saddam Hussein.
