The US only need to claim a country has 'weapons of mass destruction' to start a war. Evidence is not required.

Pretty sure the claim this time wasn't that they had them, but that they could make them too quickly if they wanted to.

'has them', 'could make them', it doesn't matter what the claim is when you there no requirement for evidence. There are no penalties for US presidents who lie to start a war.
