This is a fiction that only you americans seem to believe.

He didn't fight back effectively because no dictator can who rules by terror
and intimidation when a liberator with a real chance appears.

According to you he had spirited the WMDs to Syria. That kinda hinders
a defense. Either he had weapons to fight back or he didn't. Which
is it?

and he likely removed them to Syria,

Given that the air was filled with american spy planes and satellite
surveillance, how come there is no direct evidence for this. US claims
in the absence of anything resembling proof leaves a lot of us sceptical.
So far we've only seen photos of broken down trucks.
