Bush sidestepping the burden of proof doesn't necessarily mean that Hussein had no weapons. That only proves Bush is an idiot rather than a statesman. The testimony of Blix and Ritter, however, cinch that Hussein had no WMD. That exposes Bush's pose. He only demanded Hussein disarm PRECISELY BECAUSE he knew Hussein had no WMD.

If Bush knew that Iraq had no WMD programs or hardware, then he was definitely lying when he took us into war. That is an impeachable defense.
